Good afternoon COG Family! I pray your week is going well. This is the first of what I plan to be a bi-weekly newsletter. My goal is to keep communication flowing to the congregation regarding events, ministry highlights, and various items of interest. Please see below to keep up to date on COG activities. Reach out if you have questions or want more information.
Hope to see you Sunday!

Pastor Chris
Welcome to J, Amanda, Karaline, and Griffin Lloyd! The Community of Grace family is very excited to have J join us as our youth pastor. We look forward to how God will use J and his family to pour into the youth at Community of Grace. We encourage you to take a moment to welcome the Lloyd family in person and get to know them better.

Spotlight
MOPS/MOMSnext at COG wants to make sure no mom is left behind. This group of women is dedicated to helping each other in the day to day needs of life as well as deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ.

The MOPS/MOMSnext group hosts roughly 40 moms and 60 kiddos during their school year. They also have special meetings during the summer, such as park play dates on Tuesdays. If you would like more information about MOPs at COG and upcoming events, go to their FB page or website . Thank you Stacey Dalton for directing this group.
The Staff's Choice
The COG staff is currently reading How to Worship Jesus Christ by Joseph S. Carroll. This short read is a great reminder of what worship looks like according to the Bible. If you decide to read this one, we'd love to talk with you on your thoughts.
