ABOUT OUR WORSHIP
MUSIC
OFFERING
MESSAGE
Sunday—10:30am
Worship is an interactive, participatory experience.
We invite you to join in as we praise God through
singing by following the on-screen lyrics.
We give tithes and offerings as an act of worship,
obedience, celebration, and thanksgiving to the
Lord. You can give during the service or anytime
via our website. If you are a guest, you are not
expected or obligated to give.
The teaching time seeks to communicate God’s
Truth in compelling, relevant ways. Feel free to
take notes using the space provided in this Update.

GRACE KIDS
Every Sunday morning, Grace offers safe and caring environments
for your kids to learn about Christ. We introduce children to the
amazing love of God and what that means for their lives. Ages are
birth through Grade 6. Please check-in your child at our Kidsport
located on the top floor of this building before dropping them off
at their room prior to the service and pick them up afterward.
GRACE YOUTH
Our Junior and Senior High age students are an important part of
our Grace Church. We encourage teens to praise Jesus with their
lives and grow in their faith walk. Our Youth House is adjacent to
our parking lot on Eggert Road.
GRACE ADULTS
Our classes are designed to equip believers to become better disciples of Jesus Christ. Current classes end today.
Equipping for next two Sundays:
 July 12th—Justin and Nicole Kennedy and their three children
will be with us at 9am, sharing the ministry in Asia God has
given them. Justin will be preaching at 10:30am Worship
Time.
 July 19th begins a new session of classes to help equip us to
be better followers of Christ.
1. New Beginnings-Gain a better understanding of the Bible
and how to apply it to everyday life.
2. Philippians, Christ, the Source of Joy and Strength-As
believers we can have peace, joy and contentment no
matter what our circumstances. Life transformed.
3. Grace, More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We ImagineDo we settle for a wimpy grace or God’s wild one? Grace
calls us to change and gives us the power to pull it off.
Sign-up TODAY at Welcome Center. More info there.
Following the Equipping hour please join us in the Community Room at 10am for Café Fellowship. Help yourself to a
pastry, a hot or cold beverage and some great conversation.
Make new friends!
LIFE GROUPS
Becoming a healthy Spirit filled disciple is more than a Sunday
morning only thing. The primary way for you to grow, connect, and
live in partnership with others is by getting connected to a Life
Group. There are different ones to choose from, but all of them are
focused on helping you be a better follower of Jesus Christ. Adult
Groups are available Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday. Children and Youth groups are available on Wednesday.
Find one for you, commit to a small group and connect with our
family. Our journey isn’t meant to be done alone. Contact Dave
(683-7487).
*Life Groups meeting this week:
Sunday—Mineo, Mazur; C2, 7pm, check facebook
Wednesday—Grace Youth, Teal (men), Tirone-picnic at Reed’s
*Life Group leaders: We have heard that some of you aren’t meeting
over the summer. Please notify the office with any changes to your
schedule.
