SPECIAL THANK YOU

Dear Grace family, It is with the deepest gratitude

that we give you a heartfelt thank you for all you have

done for both me and my family during the loss of my

dear husband, friend and father to my children. It

made a very difficult time a little easier to go through.

Continue to keep your faith in our Savior, Jesus.

~ Love, Connie Hintz & Family

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDIES

Sunday Bible Studies begin at 9:45am.

The Great Deceiver - New Topic started last week:

It should come as no surprise that an adversary fit to be called the “god of this

world” and the “power of darkness” is a force to be reckoned with. And so he is. In

“The Great Deceiver” we will explore a being so diabolical he will stop at nothing

to separate us from God. Meet us in the Conference room for this important

study.

God-Centered Worldview - How you look at the world matters!

Please join us in the Sanctuary as we open God’s Word and look at the world we

live in, our prayer is that this study will help you to be grounded in your faith and

gracious in your witness.

TUESDAY BIBLE STUDIES Men’s Bible Study - 6:30am here at Grace in the Conference room.

This study explores our vocation and how we, as children of God, have a place in God’s heavenly kingdom. We also have been given a new status here in God’s earthly kingdom. We will look at this dichotomy and how we balance our lives as Christians in a secular world.

Tuesday Life Light - The Tuesday morning Life Light will not meet on

Tuesday, November 11. Will resume on Tuesday, November 18.
