STEP OUT IN GENEROSITY



As you pray over your gifts of your time, talent, treasure, relationships, and truth this coming year, reflect on the goodness of God and all that we have been able to accomplish for the Kingdom at Grace, and will continue to pursue in the coming year. We are so grateful for all of the ways you have responded, and we thank you in advance for your generosity. Our hope is that everyone who is able will increase their pledge from last year by 5% to help us continue the transformative ministry here at Grace and around the world.

If you would like to step out in generosity and make your pledge for the 2027 year, click HERE to share your gifts. We are grateful for your contribution to our mission of equipping every generation to share the Good News and their everyday lives. See more about the 2027 budget HERE.

We hope you will join us for worship this Sunday, November 15, as we dedicate our gifts to the Lord. 




CHRISTMAS FOR THE CITY 2026



Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 13--one of the most meaningful days of the year as Grace Presbyterian Church come together once again for Christmas For The City 2026!

We’ll spend the day serving our neighbors and sharing the hope of Christmas through acts of love. This year’s projects include:

Sleep in Heavenly Peace—build and deliver 50 beds Help ensure that 50 children have a safe, comfortable bed of their own instead of sleeping on the floor or sharing a bed with a family member.

Kids Meals—assemble 8000 meals Working alongside Kids’ Meals, we’ll prepare 8000 meals to help children in our community who are experiencing food insecurity.

Mission of Yahweh—Christmas treat bags Every year, around 50 children and their moms staying with Mission of Yahweh join us for Christmas Eve service. Following worship, they head out on a bus and enjoy a Christmas lights tour around Briargrove Park. To help bring joy to the night, we are excited to assemble special Christmas treat bags to bless the families, reminding them they are loved, seen, and celebrated this Christmas season.

As always, we’ll kick off the day with a delicious barbecue lunch before heading out to serve together. It’s a wonderful time to gather as a church family, welcome new volunteers, and celebrate the joy of serving side by side. There are opportunities for sponsorships available HERE, and registration for lunch and the days activities is available HERE.

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! At least it wasn't too hot! Light rain fell off and on through the day, but our Grace golfers and friends persevered through 18 holes and had some fun and fellowship along the way. All of it to support our neighbors here in the Westchase District, as the proceeds from the day benefitted Friends of Westchase and the all they do to pour back into the community. Many thanks to the organizers who spent hours making sure it was a great day for everyone, and to the sponsors and players who enabled us to continue this 20+ year legacy of a great golf tournament in support of a great cause.

WESTMINSTER CATECHISM UPDATES Last fall, Grace launched a 365-day plan to read through the entire Bible together. Whether you finished it all or had some starts and stops, we hope it gave you a taste of the deep benefits of daily scripture engagement. Together, we gained a clearer view of the Bible’s overarching narrative, built stronger study habits, and grew as disciples. As part of this year's "Truth That Transforms" series, we are doing it again. The 2026-27 plan still covers every chapter of all 66 books, but it intentionally departs from canonical order to echo the preaching season. Download the plan HERE or have it sent to you daily by subscribing HERE. To help us, the Grace website has a page with many resources and deeper information. You may find it HERE.  Printed copies of the Catechism are available in the church lobby, or in a downloadable format on the website. We've also provided a printable reading plan, and a series of weekly discussion questions for your classes, small groups, or your own study time.

WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY

If you are out of town or unable to be here to worship in-person this week, please join us online via the "Watch Online" link found HERE.

This Sunday, our sermon series "Truth That Transforms: A Journey Through The Westminster Catechism" continues. This week we will be reading from Genesis 3:1-10 and looking at question 16 and 17 of the Catechism. We'll also have a Children at the Chancel time and continue our journey into a new season of generosity, dedicating our gifts during the service. If you have not yet discerned your pledge for this coming year, we ask that you go before the Lord and prayerfully consider how you, too, can step out in generosity. You may click HERE to pledge for our 2027 year.

See you at 9:30 a.m.!
