A New Direction


New things are coming to Grace Community Church. Very soon Grace is going to experiencing a new direction, new initiatives, some things that will alter the DNA of our church; all as a effort to help us draw closer in our relationship to Jesus. We will begin to roll these next steps out very soon. Groups are such a vital part of who we are as a church. So, as small group leaders, we need your help to make this roll out successful. We will be doing something completely different on Sunday Mornings throughout March. We need time in your GRACE Groups and your help as a facilitator throughout those weeks to help everyone discuss, process, and react to what is happening on Sundays. We want to make sure the spiritual impact of this pivotal time is reaching into ever Grace person's life. More than any campaign we have ever done, we need your group to participate along with us during this significant milepost in the history of Grace. We are truly hoping every attender of Grace will participate.

Mark teased us about this during this week's morning services when he asked us to hold the night of February 28th open. He will give all the details to every leader during the Grace Leadership Summit on the 23rd and 24th of January. I need you to give us 45 minutes to an hour of your regular small group time for at least 3 of your meetings in March and the 1st week of April. I want to give you the dates now so that you can plan your group's semester accordingly.

For most groups it will be the weeks of March 15, 22, and 29.
If you are one of the handful of groups who meet only every other week, your dates will be the week of March 8, March 22, and April 5.

We are excited about what God is doing in the life of our church. Please pray with us that we will be successful in taking the "Next Steps" in our journey toward Him.
