When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. Life is full of blessings! Express Gratitude for all the good things in life!

Something Everyone Needs
I look forward to sharing with you this Sunday about something everyone needs. I know you are going to be encouraged by what you hear and challenged as well. What is the something that everyone needs? Well, let me tell you.......this coming Sunday! I hope to see you there with a friend by your side. I love all you amazing Grace House folks.
Have You Seen the Video from Carriacou?
Check out the work and a special thank you message from Pastor Happy on the home page of our website. We want you all to see the building and the beauty of the area plus hear how much God used you in blessing our brothers and sisters there.
Lots of fun, good fellowship, relationship building, and spiritual growth taking place through our life groups.. If you have questions about being in a group or leading a group, just get with Hillard and Charlotte Matthews who lead our Life Groups ministry.
You are now able to view all the options on our new Life Groups website at LIFEGROUPS.INFO Please check it out!
Rooted Preteens - Summer Camp
We are excited about Summer camp at Springfield for our preteens on July 19 - 22. The cost for our Grace House preteens will be $100 (The church is offsetting the cost to make it more affordable for those desiring to go). See Allison Fisher for more details and to sign up.
Mother's Day Weekend
The coming Mother's Day, May 12th, Mrs. Evelyn Doneghy will be ministering at Grace House. For those of you who have heard Sister Evelyn, you know she always has an encouraging word which rests on the truth of Scripture. She is very anointed as a teacher and preacher of God's Word. Please invite a friend to come with you so they can get in on the blessing.
Have A Laugh....
Trying to do my share to help the environment, I set up a trash basket at my church and posted above it this suggestion: "Empty water bottles here."
I should have been a little more specific, because when I went to check it later, I didn't find any bottles in it. But it was full of water.
