UPDATE FROM PASTOR EDDIE - Friday, October 16, 2015

Hello Grace House Family,
Last weekend was awesome. Larry Randolph was a great blessing to our
church family and our region. This past Wednesday night we had another powerful service together. Please pray that this coming Sunday's service was be all the Lord wants it to be. Let's believe together that people will continue to stream into Grace House from the North, South, East, West. We are grateful for all those the Lord is leading to make Grace House their church home. God is sending who we need to see His plans fulfilled. We also rejoice with all the people who have been unchurched who
are coming and receiving God's love and becoming part of His family.
I'll be teaching of FACING OFF WITH THE FEAR OF MAN this coming Sunday. Most of the time when someone says they don’t care what
other people think it seemly reveals that they are in a struggle about what other people are saying or thinking about them. Most of us prefer to be liked rather than disliked and loved rather than hated. But what happens when obeying God brings the disapproval of others? Will we be influenced by what God says or what other people say? Sometimes we miss great blessings in our lives because we bow to the fear of what other people think.
Join us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at Grace House and we’ll have a great time worshiping together and then we’ll learn what a very wise man in the Bible says about facing off with the fear of man.
Is there someone you could invite to attend service with you? Why not give them a call, text, or visit and ask them to join you for church on Sunday morning.
Until
Sunday......
Blessings,
Pastor Eddie
Community Outreach this Saturday!
Tomorrow (Saturday) morning we will participate in a community outreach at 3111 Huntsville Road. We will give away clothes, non-perishable food items, cook hot dogs, provide
inflatables for children, pray for the sick, prophesy over people, worship, have skits and dramas, and then share the Gospel. We are praying for a day of harvest and the pouring out of the love of God. Thanks to Bro. Roger Reed for his leadership in putting this together and bringing several churches together to minister to the community.
Helpers are needed from 8:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. to set up. Then from 10:00 to about 1:00 p.m. will be the actual Christian festival for these residents of the Huntsville Rd area. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in our community. Come and be a part of this!
During the month of October we ask that you pray for the children of Honduras and for those who are in need of housing. We will be partnering with the ministry of Dr. Jorge Ponce who serves the people of Honduras as a medical
doctor and a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was in our service recently and several of our people have been with him on the mission field and seen first hand the many ways God is using him. We are asking that each family consider donating at least $10 to go toward two different needs we are focusing on.
1. Providing a Christmas gift for the underprivileged children of the area where Dr. Jorge serves.
2. There is a community of people also that actually live in houses made of cardboard. An example is seen below.
Of course, if you are able to give financially, please sow your prayers. We also will be asking you to write a Christmas card that will be given to a child there. We will have a basket on the table the last two Sundays of October to receive cards and donations.
The offering will be sent to Dr. Jorge's ministry. They will be able to buy many more gifts by purchasing them there and not having the shipping charges from here. Thank you for having such a heart for the nations.
This Tuesday Night at 6:30 p.m. our men will gather and spend 1 hour as warring men declaring God's promises and praying for our families, our congregation, our region, and our world. Join us men of God!
UPCOMING EVENTS
We are honored to announce that Grace House will be hosting a WYAM DTS. This Discipleship Training School will be used to equip people called to be missionaries in
the nations around the world. There will be a group of 24 students from across the nation and world who will be with us for 7 days. They are here to immerse themselves in our Grace House culture and will be receiving ministry from a number of people in our Grace House family. There will be a School of Worship and a regular DTS at the same time. We will also will be asking a number of you to provide housing for these precious servants of the Lord. We will also need lots of help in providing
meals. This opportunity is so in line with what we feel Grace House is called to be. Matt Standridge is running point on this for us, so pray for him. More info and volunteer sign-up later......be praying.
