Newsletter November 2, 2016

This week we return to our study of 1 Corinthians  with chapter 7:1-16. This is a reclamation of marriage from what society had made it to what Jesus purposes it to be. And in the spirit of the reformation, it is never bad to reclaim things of value, even in our day. Join us at Del Norte High on Sunday at 10am for worship and the Word. 


New Member Seminar - We will host a seminar for those thinking of pursuing covenant membership at Grace. Hear our story, what we desire to be about and where we think we are headed as a congregation. Thursday, November 17 at 7pm in Rancho Penasquitos. 


Interim Leader Nominations - the elders are currently accepting nominations or potential interim leaders. These men would share their voice on the elder council and assist in shepherding the church. Email elders@gracechurchsd.org with nominations. 


Holiday Schedule - Grace Church will have a Christmas Eve service this year but we will not have Sunday service on Christmas morning. 


Benevolence - As we spend the month thinking of things we are thankful for, it is a great time to turn the thanksgiving into generosity and help us increase our benevolence fund. The elder use these funds to support members of the church and community in need. To give, put "benevolence" in the memo line of your check and drop it in one of the giving boxes, or give online at gracechurchsd.org and indicate it is a benevolence gift. To receive benevolence contact Bill at bdetrich@gracechurchsd.org. 


9am Prayer - Each Sunday we gather in the courtyard outside the auditorium for 30 minutes of prayer for the day, the church and our community. Please join us as we petition the Lord together.
