Naturally Supernatural (Mar 23)

Churchwide

As we follow Jesus, we know we’re called to imitate Him in every way—but that leaves some of us wondering, “What about the miraculous things Jesus did? Should we imitate those things, too? Is that even possible? Is it biblical?”

We’re excited to offer a workshop that answers just those questions. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for decades or just a short while, or whether you are totally comfortable with the miraculous (or totally uncomfortable) you’ll find this biblical, simple introduction to hearing God and healing will encourage you and challenge you in life-changing ways.

The workshop will include various segments, such as times of teaching input, Q&A, worship, small group processing, times of training, and personal application (as well as breaks and lunch).

This is the second in a series of four workshops we’ll be hosting in the coming months. Here is a quick glance at the title of each workshop:

  1. Living a Naturally Supernatural Life
  2. Hearing God
  3. Healing and the Spiritual Gifts
  4. Spiritual Warfare

Women’s Evening Bible Study (Mar 25)

Churchwide

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith?

How can we discern the truth from a lie?

How can we know God loves us?

We will be tackling these questions in our Women’s Evening Bible Study, starting Monday, March 25 at 7:00-8:30. We will meet for 9 weeks at Grace Gathering East and end on Monday, May 20, 2024. This study is open to women from all sites and guests. 

In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin’s “Abide” will help you see how, two thousand years later, his words call to similarly challenged Christians to recall our great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Good Friday Service & Easter Weekend (Mar 29-31)

Churchwide

Join us as we consider the love of God displayed in the death of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Good Friday Service: Friday, March 29

Begin with a walk-through experience open from 12:00-3:00p and 5:00-6:45p. Here, you will encounter the sights, sounds, scripture, and symbols of Jesus’ last days on Earth. Then, from 7:00-8:00, stay for a reflective worship service where we will meditate on God’s love for us. We cannot wait to spend this holy moment together as a spiritual family, preparing to celebrate the resurrection.

Easter Sunday: Sunday, March 31

Join us for service on Easter Sunday at the three sites. We will worship and celebrate Christ miraculously overcoming death and rising from the grave. This year’s theme is “Return to the Garden.” We will look at the resurrection through the eyes of Mary Magdeline and her experience at the empty tomb.

Easter Eggstravaganza (Mar 30)

East

Easter Eggstravaganza is a children’s and family event where we have games and activities to celebrate Easter! We will have a ball drop event, where kids collect balls to then trade in for prizes! Our goal is to have time to gather together as families and invite friends and neighbors to join us for a fun event for our kids!
We also are asking our church congregation to donate candy and come join us to welcome families from our community!


New Grace

New Grace Vision Casting and Carry-in Meal (Mar 24)

At 1:00pm, following the service, Pastor Steve will share the vision with everyone-ministry leaders, ministry team and anyone who comes and wants to be on a ministry team. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall. Please sign up if you plan to attend and bring your favorite dish to share with others!
