    Take it to the Cross

Last year we published our first Take it to the Cross devotional for Lent. The ministry team is making plans for our second publication. Beginning now please pray for God’s leading in writing your own “Upper Room” type of devotion; include a scripture and short prayer. We are seeking a devotion for each day in Lent (40 items). Think of an “Ah Ha” moment in your life that inspired you or helped you deal with a life situation and write it down. Pray for     inspiration from God and you will be amazed at what you come up with! Submit your devotion to Eileen Orr or Jeanette Snell.

 

Come Pray with Usthere is a group of people that meet every Sunday morning in the Chapel at 8:30 to pray for the Sunday school classes and      Worship services that will be held that day. Prayers also include the ongoing ministry of Grace church and those in leadership and teaching positions.

Anyone is welcome attend.
