August 1-22 – Covenant Membership Class
27
Jul '21
Covenant Membership Class | Sunday, August 1 – Sunday, August 22 @ 9:00 am
If you’re interested in understand what we believe and how we live out our faith in this body, then we invite you to join us for a Covenant Membership Class. In this 4 week class, we dive into Scripture together as we explore theological issues that are central to faith in Christ. We then consider what it means to be a follower of Christ and how we live that out together at Grace. Childcare is available during the class. At the end of the class, you’ll be invited to become a member of Grace. Whether you’re ready to make that commitment or would like more time to decide, we encourage you to get to know us, what we believe, and who we are through this class.
If you are unable to attend this particular membership class but would like to attend in the future, please contact one of our pastors. A new class will be scheduled soon. Contact Christopher (christopher@graceweb.net), Andrew (andrew@graceweb.net) or Cindy (cindy@graceweb.net) so that we can be sure to keep you informed when the next class is scheduled.

Send-Off Prayer for the Wells | Sunday, August 1 during Worship Service
Corey, Kirsten, Gavin and Garrett are moving to Colorado — FINALLY! Through MTI, they will be training missionaries going all over the world. We’ll get to hear from Corey a bit during the service, and then join together as a congregation to pray for them as the move and begin the next phase of their ministry. Grace has partnered with the Wells for 2 1/2 years. We are so blessed to be part of what God is doing to advance his kingdom in places far from Greenville through the Wells. Here’s a link to their ministry website:
If you’d like to partner with the Wells in their ministry, you can do that via any method of giving through Grace. Like the very first missionaries in the first century, the Wells depend on the generosity of other believers and churches for their support. Our giving envelopes include a check box for the Wells. Through our secure online giving site, select MTI Colorado Partners – The Wells Family and designate a one-time or reoccurring gift. Here’s a link to our online giving site.

Meet Our Missionary | Sunday, August 22 | 5:30 -7:30 pm
Hannah Skinner will be visiting during August and September. Covid and international borders have kept her away from us for far too long! Join us in the Lounge for a potluck at 5:30 followed by a report from Hannah about what God is doing through YWAM in Vancouver, BC and her ministry there. Hannah and Jordan Skinner grew up in our church and have been serving God through YWAM Vancouver for six years. Hannah is a full-time missionary, working in administration and communications at the YWAM base. She does some teaching and discipleship with the DTS students, also. Jordan does some volunteer work at the YWAM base. He is now working at a company in the Vancouver area. Unfortunately, work will prevent him from visiting this time.
If you miss our evening event, Hannah will be hanging out in the Lounge before service on August 22nd and August 29th with some Vancouver coffee to share.
Don’t forget to bring a dish to share
Hannah derives all her support from others who partner with her through their giving. You can donate directly to Hannah through our church. Use our church offering envelopes to donate cash or checks in the offering box. Or give through our secure online giving portal.
