UPDATE FROM PASTOR EDDIE - Friday, May 16, 2014

Grace House Update from Pastor Eddie
--SUNDAY MORNING--

Do you realize the devastating power of receiving negative words spoken over your life? In the days of ancient Israel a giant named Goliath paralyzed a nation with his negative broadcasting of their future. The whole nation including it's armies was frozen in fear. But a young man named David rose up against those words and the Giant who spoke them and He changed the course of history.

This negative prophesying is still used today by the enemy to position you to receive the worst he has to offer.
This Sunday I will be teaching on WHAT TO DO WHEN GOLIATH PROPHESIES. Like David, there are some steps you too can take to rise up and alter the outcome of your future. 

Please consider inviting a friend to attend service with you this coming Sunday. Take a moment now, make a phone call, send an email, or contact someone in some way and encourage them to be a part of our gathering this Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.
GOD BLESS OUR GRADUATES!
We congratulate all our graduates and thank God for your success and accomplishments. If you have graduated High School, Trade School, College, etc. since last May, we desire to recognize you and honor you in our service on Sunday morning, May 18th. If you have not informed us of your graduation, please let Mikki know.
Our ACTS 2:17 Prophetic Community will meet this Sunday, May 18th at 2:30 p.m.
Please note that the date for this monthly meeting has been moved to May 18th out of respect for Mother's Day. This gathering is for those desiring to grow and move in the prophetic. For more details, see Elder David Clark. 
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AT GRACE HOUSE
This coming Wednesday night, the adults will be viewing a video that shows a woman being healed in the Bay of the Spirit revival in Mobile, Alabama. She had been paralyzed in a wheelchair for 23 years. It is one of the most touching and encouraging healings I have ever seen. You will be blessed in seeing this. We will also have a time of teaching and ministry following the showing of the short video. The Spirit is moving in our midst....Praise the Lord!

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.
