UPDATE FROM PASTOR EDDIE - Friday, December 11, 2015

Sunday, December 13th
Hello Grace House Family,
This past week has been such a blessing in the life of Grace House. We were all blessed by Jim and Anne this past Sunday as they shared about their 49 days in Israel. The whole worship service was so energized with God's presence. This past Wednesday night we were all very deeply touched by Josiah McIntyre as he shared about he and his family's missionary life in the Amazon jungle area of Brazil. We were all challenged by their radical obedience to share the Gospel in one of the most
primitive areas of the world. I was also deeply touched by the giving of our people. With what was given and what the church added, we were able to bless the McIntyre;s with over $3500.00 for their missionary work. We have been able sow into many nations this past year as well as here locally. God blesses the congregation who carries in their heart what He carries in His. He has a heart for the nations.
The Sunday, I plan to minister on THE SECRETS OF GOD. This fascinating subject is one I believe will strengthen and encourage you in your walk with God. The Bible says the Lord shares His secrets with those who fear Him. I am intrigued by the truth that God will share things with us that's on His heart. Please pray that the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ will be
operative in our lives this Sunday.
Come and worship with us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and bring a friend with you. All of us were created to be part of something so much bigger than we are. We are part of the Kingdom and the family of God.
Looking
forward to Sunday,
Blessings,
Pastor Eddie
Acts 2:17 meets this Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
