DISCIPLING LUNCHEON



This luncheon is a once-a-quarter gathering to resource Disciple Makers at Grace. We want to see all our groups that are making disciples flourish, and this is an opportunity to celebrate and provide fellowship, direction, and tools to help and serve all disciple-based groups at Grace. Who is invited? Anyone in a Disciple Group at Grace, as well as everyone in a Together Group at Grace (Inspire, Grace Moms, Men's Groups, etc.) Also, we'd love to have anyone curious about joining or starting a disciple group.

Join us on Sunday February 2, 12:15-1:30 p.m., in Massey-Tucker Fellowship Hall. Register HERE. Contact Jordan Goodie for more details.




BLOOD DRIVE



Saturday, February 1, 10 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. in MT Fellowship Hall

Please join Grace members Jaclyn and Charles Luke in celebrating Eliza's life by donating blood! Eliza's rare genetic disease caused her to have chronically low red blood cells and platelets. She was fortunate to receive several blood transfusions which greatly improved the quality of her short life. We can think of no better way to show our appreciation for these transfusions than to help other patients. We hope you'll schedule an appointment to give blood with us!

GRACE812



What is Grace812? We are a community of people with a desire to establish a meaningful relationship with God, gathering to share a meal and conversation about our spiritual journey and learning how to live the life God intended for each of us!

Through Easter (April 20), we will be studying the doctrine of grace (what it is, where it comes from, why we need it...), as seen through the lens of The Beatitudes and traditional 12-Step recovery. We'll delve into how to live the principles taught within them and how they are tied to the gift of grace.

What is Grace812 about? Grace812 is church done differently! All of us, at one time or another, have been faced with challenging life events. In these times, Grace812 is here to help us recover from trials as we trudge through the journey to a deeper life. Our help is because of THE GIFT of Grace from God. Our foundation is built upon THE TRUTH, the teachings of Jesus in the eight Beatitudes from the Bible. THE PATH is an intentional discipleship road map allowing us to live life fully.

When is Grace812? Every Tuesday evening at Grace, in MT101
5:45 p.m. Doors open and community meal
6:20 p.m. Contemplative service
7:30 p.m. Step Bible study, Al-Anon Parent Group, other recovery meetings, small groups, and Bible studies.
You are welcome for ANY part of the night!

For more information, drop us an email or call 281-800-8555.

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK

We celebrate the things that we have offered to God that are bearing fruit-- We celebrate what God is doing!

This past fall, while going before the Lord as part of The 5:10:5 Plan, a few families felt a specific calling from the Lord, and discerned a desire not only to give generously to the work God is doing here at Grace, but also to invite others to join them in this effort. These families have pledged to provide a match up to $300,000 for all operating fund gifts given to Grace in excess of our current 2025 target of $2,800,000. Here are some more details about this generous gift:

•Our current expected operating collection for 2025 is $2,800,000 which was also our approximate collection in 2024.

•Once the actual collected 2025 revenue reaches this goal of $2,800,000, any additional giving beyond that amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $300,000.

•This matching opportunity aligns with The 5:10:5 Plan. As individuals or families contribute more than they did the previous year, those additional dollars will move us closer towards earning the match. This ensures that your contribution will go farther, as it will help earn the match.

•We will track our progress towards earning the match based on our actual collections through the year.

While we often say, “together we take the next right step,” the “together” part is truly meaningful. When we share our lives and God’s blessings, we accomplish more than we could alone! You should have received a mailer this week with complete details (though please make sure the roads are clear of ice before running to your mailbox!). This is something to truly celebrate and you are encouraged to prayerfully consider God’s continued movement in your life. If you’ve never given before, perhaps this is the moment to take your first step. If you are already giving, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing generosity. And as we all have the opportunity to respond to the 5:10:5 invitation in our giving this year, to prayerfully increase our year over year giving by 5%, and to invite new people to join us, let’s do so knowing that we are together in our efforts. You may make your pledge or adjust your current pledge online HERE.
