WOMEN'S FALL BIBLE STUDIES



Registration is open for women's fall Bible studies! Studies begin September 9! If you have questions about any of the women's studies, contact Traci Baudin.

Inspire Women's Bible Study – Fall 2025
Join us on Tuesday mornings or evenings for our fall Bible studies. We'll use Nancy Guthrie's The Lamb of God: Seeing Jesus in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Jesus' declaration that Moses wrote of Him frames this study of four books of the Pentateuch―Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy―as we discover the many ways that Moses spoke about Christ. We'll see that the Bible's story from beginning to end is the story of the Lamb―the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Order the book: The Lamb of God: Seeing Jesus in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy HERE.
Our study runs from Tuesday, September 9, through Tuesday, November 18.
Morning group: 9:30-11:30 a.m. (large group in Sanctuary followed by small groups) Join us for lunch after our first morning meeting on September 9 (cost is $15)! 
Register for the morning group HERE.

Evening group: 6:45-8:45 p.m. (large group in MT 201 followed by small groups). We'll gather together with our friends at Grace812 each week for dinner at 6 p.m. in MT 101 before our study.
Register for the evening group HERE.

THE BIBLE IN A YEAR



“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”— Psalm 119:105

Regular Bible reading is one of the most important habits you can develop. That is why we are undertaking a church-wide “The Bible in a Year” plan for the next year! Each week, sermons and equipping classes and groups will all be aligned to the reading plan, which will guide us through the entirety of scripture in 365 days.

Read: You will receive a reading plan that Grace will be following through January. Each day’s reading includes a couple of chapters and a Psalm, allowing you to track the chronological, overarching story of the Bible in a year. Grace’s standard Bible version is the New International Version (NIV), but you are free to use a translation you prefer.

Worship: Sunday worship will track with the reading schedule for the next year. The sermon will use the scriptures you have been reading the week previous, allowing you to place the sermon text in its context and place within the biblical storyline.

Study: In addition, all Sunday equipping hour classes, discipleship groups, and ongoing Bible studies will be following the reading plan timeline. All ages, elementary and up, will be following curriculum that will correspond to the study.

HERE you will find a multitude of resources to help you with the reading plan, including videos, podcasts, and articles to bring greater insight to what you have read. You will also find recaps and summaries of sections for times when you may fall behind.

We can’t wait to hear your stories of new insights and deepened faith that will surely come from time spent with God’s Word! 

Throughout August, the Combined Adult Equipping Hour will be getting us ready for this adventure. Meeting at 11 a.m. in MT Fellowship Hall, this is a great chance to have your questions answered, learn a little more about what is in store, and find encouragement to take the plunge! 

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!

The first GPCH Young Adult Worship Night happened on August 4 in the Welcome Center. Anyone 18-35, single or married, was invited, but the evening was open to anyone who wanted to attend a night of worship and reflection of God's goodness in every season. Since it was the first time this was offered, it was uncertain who would attend. God brought 29 young adults through our doors! Among the 29 were five newcomers to the ministry, two who came because their church does not offer a Young Adult Ministry, and two non-believers! 

This ministry is growing and active! If you have any questions or would like more information, reach out to Kaylie Baudin, join the young adults groupme!
