Today’s Worship Service: Just A Little Different
Today is the 5th Sunday of the month (which happens four times a year), so kids stay in worship service with their families.
As usual, we will worship God together through music, praying, giving, learning and responding to the Word and Spirit of God working among us. But instead of the normal sermon from the Bible, there will be an open (mic) time for people to share:
- words of praise, thanksgiving, and confession to God
- prayer requests and prayers
- words of testimony about the work of God in our lives
- readings, reflections, and encouragement from Scripture
If you have something to share that is honoring to God and helpful to those present, you’re encouraged to do so. Mics will be available on both sides of the auditorium. It’s okay to be nervous. Introduce yourself and go from there. Please keep your comments brief (3-4 minutes at most) so that as many as possible can participate. Thank you.
Outreach Opportunity: Christmas Eve at Grace
Two services, 2:30 pm and 4 pm. Pray, plan to attend, and invite family and friends, especially those who are unchurched and/or disconnected from God. Invite postcards available on the lobby Welcome Desk.

Parent’s Night Out
The Grace Youth Group is excited to host Parent’s Night Out on Thursday, December 11th, from 6 to 8pm at Grace! The Holidays are busy so please take advantage to have a night where you can drop off your kids and spend some time shopping, decorating, or enjoying a date night! The Youth Group and Youth Group Leaders will be at Grace from 6 to 8 pm to provide childcare while you enjoy a night out! We will have dinner, snacks, games, and a movie so all you need to do is drop your kid off and we will take care of the rest! Please sign-up in the Fellowship Hall or by clicking the button below so we can have an accurate head count for food.
… 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
