Man is not at peace with his fellow man because he is not at peace with himself; he is not at peace with himself, because he is not at peace with God. Thomas Merton
If we only desire a small piece of God in our lives, we will similarly have only that same measure of His peace in them. Brian G. Jett
A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do - is to enter into it. Dwight L Moody
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. C.S. Lewis
It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf. Thomas Fuller
This Sunday - The Healing Power of Communion
As we do the first Sunday of each month, we will be celebrating the Lord's Supper together as instructed by Scripture. Before we partake of communion this Sunday, I will be teaching on Healing through Communion. There are powerful truths pertaining to the benefits of healing that are ours through the New Covenant. Let's come expecting the breaking forth of the benefit of healing as we celebrate our New Covenant with our Lord through communion this Sunday.

Thank You for Giving!
We are so grateful to you for giving to the purposes of God through Grace House week by week. From paying the electric bills to funding missions overseas, you are making a difference.
We continue to regularly help people in our area in need through our benevolence ministry. Your giving has recently helped a young person on a mission trip to Asia. You have helped other young people to go to Summer camp to experience God. Also a gift was recently sown into our region through the ministry at the RAMP in Hamilton that is making a global impact. Through your giving, we also have connected with a ministry that provides meals to inmates in one of the area's incarceration facilities where the inmates are fed a special meal over the weekend and taught God's Word as well.
These are just some of the ways that your giving is making a difference. May Father multiply back to you in many ways what you so generously give to Him.
Connect With A Life Group...

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.

Our Next Grace House Mission Trip
Please be praying for the development of our next mission trip. About nine years ago the Lord really touched me deeply concerning the island nations. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to see the Lord do some amazing things in the Caribbean. We had an awesome time in Trinidad last year and this past April we saw God do a mighty work in Carriacou and Petite Martinque. It looks as if our next trip will be to Barbados with the possibility of island jumping to revisit Trinidad and Carriacou.
We will keep you posted on the details as they emerge. We will let you know the requirements for participating as well as costs and dates soon. There is no doubt that developing a missions heart is one of the greatest things a congregation can do.
Have A Laugh....
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."
