UPDATE FROM PASTOR EDDIE - Friday, May 30, 2014

Grace House Update from Pastor Eddie
--THIS SUNDAY MORNING--
AT 9:30 A.M.
Most of us have had to stare into situations that seemed hopeless and impossible. We know that feeling that comes to overwhelm us. It is easy to slip into despair and adopt a fatalistic attitude. Yet, God's Word contains a call for us to believe for the impossible to be replaced by a demonstration of God's power that changes the things that seem unchangeable. If you have a desire to grow in your understanding of how to see the impossible become the possible, then I encourage to join with us this Sunday. Jesus spells this out for us and we will look into what he said so we can began to say the same thing when we are faced with impossible situations. I am excited about sharing the message with you and pray that it greatly benefits your lives.

Invite someone to come with you this Sunday. You never know what God might do......
A NEW AUTHOR IN GRACE HOUSE 
CHARLOTTE MATTHEWS
We rejoice and celebrate with Charlotte Matthews in her contribution to a new book that has been released entitled, WOMAN FROM THE BEGINNING. The book was authored by Dr. Shirley Holland with chapters contributed by Dr. Duane and Melissa Carter, and Charlotte Matthews. Many of you remember Shirley and Duane and Melissa who use to be actively involved at Grace House and we still consider them a part of the Grace House family. Of course, Charlotte is very active at Grace House in leadership and encouraging our people in many ways. This coming Sunday at the conclusion of the service, you will be able to see this book and obtain a copy and even have Charlotte sign it for you. I have also asked her to take a few minutes and tell us about the book during our service. I am so grateful for the message of this book and the wonderful job that these our sisters and brother did in putting it together. May it be used to bring healing in the lives of women and men around the world.

BRING YOUR SHOES 
TO HELP TOUCH SOULS.
We are collecting new or gently worn shoes to be donated to help a Rescue Home in India as well as helping employ people in third world countries in refurbishing these shoes and then reselling them. This a great missions project that we are teaming up with Jason and Sarah Ricketts on. So please fill a trash bag with 25 pairs of shoes (rubber band each pair together) and bring them to Grace House during the next three weeks. Ask your friends, neighbors, and people where you work if they would like to donate. It's for a great cause.
