Pray for change!

October 31 starts the holiday season with one of the more (in my opinion) lackluster holidays, Halloween. However, what this holiday does present is the start of many opportunities for outreach! Whether its our Kid's Harvest Town event (Friday October 29), Thanksgiving, Christmas or even New Years, the Holiday season for the church should be a season of evangelism! People are in the festive spirit. They are a little more open and jovial. However, at the heart of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years is the gospel message. We can be thankful for the blessings we have in Christ. We were blessed with a Savior on Christmas. New Years gives us a chance to start over and make significant changes in our lives. This year, as we approach the Holiday Season, pray for change in the lives of those around you. Also pray that God would open doors for you to be an instrument of that change!

Fall at Grace...

I hope you all have considered plugging in somewhere at Grace! There are many fantastic opportunities to serve and connect. If you have not joined a LIFE Group, we would encourage you to. They are smaller groups of believers that meet around Dallas on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For a full list of LIFE Groups check out our website page:

Pictorial Directory Postponed

Hello Church Family,
As many of you know we have been working on a new Pictorial Directory. Due to some staffing changes, as well as the kickoff to our fall ministries, the directory project has been postponed. We will pursue it again in the near future.

Painting is happening!!!

So I said yesterday that paint would go up on the building in early September. However, if you drive past the church today you will notice my time table was a little off! It is in process as we speak!

Grace CC Building Projects

Hello Church Family,
You may have noticed at church last Sunday that there are some big projects going on with regards to the facilities of Grace. Here is an update on what is taking place.

The beams holding up the roof on the outside of the entryways have rotted out. Therefore, on each side a beam is being replaced and a beam is being reinforced.

The outside of the building has been pressure washed and is being prepped to paint! Painting should start in early September!

The fellowship hall and bathrooms will be getting a face lift. We have been running ministries non-stop in our fellowship hall and both it and the men's and women's restrooms have needed servicing for quite sometime. Help is coming soon!

That's all for now. Check back for more info later!

Grace CC Ministry Survey

We at Grace CC desire our ministries to be as good as they can be at meeting the needs of our people and reaching out to those in our community. As we launch our fall ministries, we would like to hear from our church body how we can improve. Below is a link to a survey about our ministries. We ask every adult regular attender and member in our congregation to take about 10 minutes and honestly answer these questions so that we can accurately listen to our church family! Thank you for your help!
