16th Sunday after Pentecost September 28, 2014
Mission Statement Grace exists to strengthen people in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to empower them to share Jesus with others. Welcome to Grace
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 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.
Today we 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 this week to those for whom we have an email address. You can also go to glcdenison.org to sign up. Pastor will share some information about this during the service today. To find out more, you can watch a short video at https://vimeo.com/15367933
Please note: In October, Holy Communion will be part of our worship services on the First and Last Sunday of the month. We will return to our regular pattern of the second and fourth Sunday of the month in November.
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.”
In an effort to help our environment, Grace has launched a recycling program. We encourage you to help by placing all of your paper in the labeled bins that are located around the church. If you have any questions or ideas please let Kayla know.
