The Christmas season is upon us. I love the season. Regardless of what the world may do, we can choose to keep Jesus in the center of the Christmas season as well as all the seasons of the year.

We had so much joy this past week during our Down Home Christmas gathering on Wednesday. Thanks to the many of you that came. My heart rejoiced to see people engaging and fellowshipping, laughing and hugging. God is so good and to be a part of His people is such a blessing. Wow, we had plenty of food and it was great! Then on Thursday night, our Elders, Staff, and Deacons met and celebrated again. We broke up three fights during the gift swap......NO JUST KIDDING. We did, however, have a blast. How blessed we are at Grace House. There is so much love among our people. 

This coming Sunday morning we will have some special people joining in leading the service. Our children and our preteens will be sharing some Christmas music and joy with us prior to an abbreviated message that I will share about God's Gifts. This is always such a special Sunday at Grace House.

Please make plans to attend and invite someone to come with you. It is sure to be a great day in Grace House this Sunday.

A SPECIAL NIGHT OF WORSHIP SERVICE
Sunday Evening, January 4th, at 6:00 p.m.

I ask each of you to make every effort to be with us for this special time of worship. We will engage Heaven. We will spend time praising, decreeing, and soaking. It is vital that we set our minds and hearts on the Lord as we launch into the New Year before us. Childcare will be provided.

First, thank you for your faithfulness and generosity for giving financially to the vision and ministries of Grace House. We are so grateful for all that has been accomplished in our midst and around the world this past year. To God be the glory and thank you for giving to help make it happen.  Please note that your final gifts for the year need to given on or before Sunday, January 28th, 2014 so that you can receive a tax deduction for your contribution. This will allow time for your gifts to be deposited into the bank and properly time stamped to go on the 2014 ledger.

Please look through the listing below to see the many ways your giving has impacted missions and ministries around the world. By the way, the size of the listings are just for visual effect and do not indicate the size of the gift. In addition to the missions and ministries beyond Grace House, your giving also provides for all the in-house ministry that takes place at Grace House. Together we are all making a difference here and around the world. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Another way we are changing the world is through our prayer. Come join us on Tuesday nights.
