How? and Why?), by April 5th, please contact Lead Pastor Michael Fen (office@gfol.org), sign up on the sheet in the HUB, or click on the button below.
 
Global Partners
 

Austin and Laura Krokos, serving with Masterplan Ministries
Highlights in ministry:
Colorado Mesa University campus team conducts 4 small group bible studies on campus. Around 45 students attend weekly worship and teaching on campus. They are currently trying to revitalize the ministry at Fort Lewis and Adams State with the small staff that they have.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for Austin and Laura’s children, ranging in age from 10 – 18, to embrace their own faith in Christ, as well as personal responsibilities as they enter adulthood.
2. Pray for more campus ministry staff in Durango.
3. Pray for expansion of dining hall at Three Trails Ranch, currently attempting to get a county permit. Expansion would allow for hosting larger groups.
4. Pray for 10-20 students to attend Crush Fear a summer discipleship project. Students will participate in Great Commission Training and Leader Development.

Giving – The Why & How
Generosity & Faithfulness: Financial Giving
Financial giving to the work of God through the local church is a form of worship. The Bible teaches followers of Jesus to give regularly, proportionally, generously, joyfully, and sacrificially (2 Cor. 8:1-15; Luke 21:1-4). Your contributions support Christ-centered outreach projects and partnerships locally and around the world; ongoing church ministries, programs, and events; administration and facility-related expenses; and staff compensation. We don’t pass a plate, but if you want to give, you can contribute online at www.gfol.org, use the QR code here, text GIVE to 720-513-1722, or use the “Offering” box located inside the worship center doors. Thank you!

Communion / The Lord’s Supper

Communion/The Lord’s Supper
Here at Grace, we celebrate Communion every Sunday. Also known as the Lord’s Supper, this ceremony was instituted by Jesus Christ to help his followers worship Him and honor the work He has done to save us from our sins and make us right with God. In the biblical book of 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, the Apostle/Missionary Paul said this: 
 … the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
 

The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus given for us. The wine symbolizes the blood of Jesus shed for us. If you have put your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior, Lord, King, and the Forgiver of your sins, and your heart is right toward God and his people (1 Corinthians 11:27-28), you are encouraged to serve yourself at one of the Communion tables during worship. Eat the bread and drink the wine to remember Jesus’ death, give thanks, and declare your faith in Him. If you decide not to participate because you are not a believer in Christ or for some other reason, please know that we respect your choice.
