GRACE FAMILY COOKBOOK



The Grace Family Cookbook is coming!

Food has always been a meaningful way we connect, celebrate, and care for one another. To honor our rich history and the many memories made around the table, we are creating a commemorative church cookbook, "Served With Grace," filled with treasured recipes from our congregation and community. Do you have a favorite family recipe, a potluck hit, or a dish you’re known for? We want it! We currently have 38 submissions and would love to have more! Submit your recipes and help us fill the pages with the dishes and stories that make our Grace family special.

SATURDAY SERVE



Join us for the next Saturday Serve on Saturday, October 24, from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. (approx)! This special Saturday Serve is reserved for our Senior adults--we hope to lend a hand by helping with light repairs or any household needs they may have. Its a great chance to all generations to be together.

Saturday Serve is a once-a-month, come-as-you-are, intergenerational service opportunity. We have on-campus opportunities to serve and we also plan to visit some community organizations with impactful missions! Stay tuned to learn more about ways you can get involved and serve in new ways. Whether you have one hour or two, your time can make a meaningful impact in someone’s life. The dates, events, and project details for each month are listed here and Grace Weekly email. For more information, contact Kristy Elmore at kelmore@gpch.org.

Trunk or Treat is back, and we are so excited! Everyone in the congregation is invited to bring everyone they know--especially kids--to the parking lot by the Athletic Field for trick or treating among the wildly decorated car trunks and tailgates! From 4:30-6:30 p.m., come enjoy a great afternoon with friends from all generations and come hungry... hot dogs will be provided by our Men’s Ministry!

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 month we've been excited to welcome our mission partner to Budapest, Hungary, and Eastern Europe, Misha Reyes, home to Grace! Misha has helped us celebrate World Communion Sunday and has been visiting with friends from Grace throughout the month before she returns to her work with Discipleship Training School and Youth with a Mission (YWAM).  And as Misha departs for Hungary, another Grace partner has arrived from that country! Steve Johnson joined us in worship this past Sunday! Steve and his wife, Barbara, have served in Budapest, Hungary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1994. Steve has a team of 16 full-time ministry staff from nine different nations in Budapest. Steve serves as the team leader and is also part of a core leadership team that covers the 16 nations of YWAM Central Europe. We are always grateful when our mission partners are able to spend time here in Houston. They would be grateful for your prayerful support as they spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.

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. Our goal is not simply to read more Scripture, but to become people whose lives are shaped by God's Word. The 2026-27 plan still covers every chapter of all 66 books, but it intentionally departs from canonical order to echo the preaching season. Within each book, chapters remain in order. Monday-Saturday carries the whole-Bible reading; Sunday is reserved for worship, the sermon text, reflection, and catch-up. 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 hearing a reading from Psalm 145:17 and looking at question 11 of the Catechism. We'll also celebrate the sacrament of baptism, have a Children at the Chancel time, and begin a new season of generosity. 

See you at 9:30 a.m.!
