Grace House Update from Pastor Eddie
Think About It...
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun. - Charles Swindoll
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. - Albert Schweitzer
God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are. - Billy Graham
Think of someone you can influence today!
Invite a Friend!
Did you know that today is a great day for you to intentionally think of a friend you could invite to attend our services with you this Sunday? Please take a few moments and think about who you could invite. You might even suggest lunch together after the service. What would happen if a lot of people brought someone with them? Yep.....more people would be blessed including all of us regulars. Why not invite someone today?
The Movie DEADRAISER will be shown at our location.
The ARK and Radio Air Jesus will be hosting the movie DEADRAISER on Wednesday night, Oct. 30, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. This will be the Wednesday evening service. Watch the trailer HERE. The movie focuses on how the dead are being raised now just like they were in Bible days.
Fall Fest for Children - Oct. 31st
From Franie:It's that time of year again. Our annual Fall Festival will be Thursday, October 31 from 6-8 pm. Please let me know if you would like to help out. Also, the cooler will be set out starting this Sunday for candy donations for the fall festival. Please purchase individually wrapped candy and place in cooler at the sign in table.
We Don't Want to Leave You Out!
We are UPDATING our Grace House Email List that Mikki uses to send Announcements and Prayer Requests. You should have received an email that asks you to confirm to be added to this NEW LIST. This is in addition to the email list you are reading from now. You need to be on both these lists. Their purposes are different.
So please check your inbox for this past Thursday morning, Oct 3 for the confirmation email from Grace House. If you cannot find it, then try this form:
Our Next Grace House Mission Trip -- Looks like late January.
Please be praying for the development of our next mission trip. This team will purposely be a very small team due to the travel schedule and arrangements and assignment.
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.
There is no doubt that developing a missions heart is one of the greatest things a congregation can do.
Again I Remind you to Hook Up With A Life Group!
We are so grateful for the togetherness that our life groups are enjoying.
Our Life Groups Ministry is touching lives. I rejoice to hear about how our groups are praying for one another, ministering the Word to one another, going places together, building deep relationships. This is an important part of the family life of belonging to a local congregation.
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!
Have A Laugh....
A kindergarten teacher handed out a coloring page to her class. On it was a picture of a duck holding an umbrella. The teacher told her class to color the duck in yellow and the umbrella green, however, Bobby, the class rebel, colored the duck in a bright fire truck red. After seeing this, the teacher asked him: "Bobby, how many times have you see a red duck?" Young Bobby replied with "The same number of times I've seen a duck holding an umbrella."
