September 21, 2014 Grace exists to strengthen people in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to empower them to share Jesus with others.
Welcome
Please fill out a Family Registration Card. Prayer requests can be written on the card. Pass cards to the center aisle so the ushers can collect them. Children are always welcome in the worship service. They are invited to the front for a children’s message in the Blended service. A nursery is provided for children 3 and under during Sunday School and the Blended Service. The ushers will assist you in finding the nursery.
July—September Sunday School Mission Project Deaf Youth Ministry of Texas is led by Rev. Mark Seeger. He serves a deaf congregation in the Houston area in addition to working in Austin each week with almost 200 deaf teens who are students at Texas School for the Deaf. This is supported 100% by donations from congregations, Sunday Schools, LWML groups and others who want to see this ministry continue to reach out to the deaf youth of Texas. The Sunday School and Bible Class offerings here at Grace this quarter will go to support this ministry. If you would like to contribute through the regular offering, mark your envelope “Deaf Ministry.”

Texas Church Extension Fund has provided loan funding to more than 90% of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation in Texas since 1888. Grace has benefited from this service in the past. Members invest with CEF and get a good return on their investments. Congregations borrow for construction projects and receive low interest loans. It is win-win. We observe CEF Sunday today. Our current congregational reps are Waylen and Susan Knowles. They will be able to provide you with more information about how you can be a part of the ministry of Church Extension Fund.
Next Sunday we will officially launch our private social network just for the members of Grace. You can access it from your computer, tablet or smartphone. It will be a way to share information quickly. It will serve as a church directory. Anyone can share prayer requests. You can offer services or items to other people in the congregations. You can share as little or as much information as you wish. And since it is PRIVATE, only the members of our congregation will have access to it. We’ll be sending email invites to those for whom we have an email address. There will also be a link on our church website glcdenison.org for you to sign up. To find out more about it, you can watch a short video at https://vimeo.com/15367933
