Baptism Sunday Sept 10

Upcoming Groups
EAST
Believing Jesus: The Class Learn More
This will introduce you to the core DNA of Grace Gathering and train you in everyday ways to live and lead like Jesus. On top of that, it’s the first step in discovering how to get connect into leading or joining a group or missional community.
Church @ 9
Starts Sept 10 every Sunday morning in the Family Room at 9:00am. Church @ 9 creates a space for deep exploration of the scriptures, where we come together to share insights and perspectives that contribute to the growth and strengthening of the entire body, as exemplified in 1 Corinthians 14:26.
Tuesday Morning Study
Tuesday morning study is a discussion group that seeks to explore a number of topics found in scripture. In additions to the Bible, this group utilizes a variety of resources such as books, videos, and workbooks. Currently, this group is going through the study, “Gospel On The Ground: The Grit & Glory of The Church in Acts” Contact Jo Willer for more information: ibawe@aol.com. Signup sheet at the Connections Desk.
Fall Groups: The Prayer Course
NORTH
This Fall, Grace Gathering North will be going on a shared journey through The Prayer Course, an 8-week course through the Lord’s prayer (aka that moment when Jesus taught his followers and friends to pray like him). We want everyone to be a part of this journey in some way!
Groups start the last week of September (24-30) and run for 9 weeks. You can sign up here. (We even have a hybrid group option if enough people would be interested in doing most weeks on Zoom.)
Children’s Ministry Update Meeting
NORTH
If you are a Children’s ministry team member or parent and you couldn’t make it last week, please head to the ROOTs classroom after the service this Sunday for a short informational meeting regarding our Children’s ministry Fall launch on September 10th, including some exciting changes!
Ladies Bible Study
CHURCHWIDE
This will be a 7 week study of Isaiah by Melissa Spoelstra. It is open to women from all sites. We will meet 7-8:30pm at East. Learn more and sign up here.
