The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things they had heard and seen,
which were just as they had been told.
-Luke 2:20-
What a wonderful Christmas Eve celebration last night - Christ is born!
Enjoy your family and friends today as we rejoice collectively at the birth of the long-awaited Messiah. Shepherds found Jesus in the manger just as had been promised, and they could not contain their jubilant joy!
Let us do the same. Let us invite others to hear the Good News that Jesus came to save them too. See you Sunday as we witness Simeon and Anna rejoice over their Savior. I can’t wait!
Merry Christmas!
Pastor Austin

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7

Act Now! Make Your End-of-Year Gifts
We’re in the final weeks of 2024, meaning you have an opportunity to help create and sustain a space where people can have authentic encounters with others as they share the love of Jesus during the rest of this year, next year, and beyond!
As a reminder, you can make a grant from a Donor-Advised Fund, give from your IRA, donate stock, or give cryptocurrency to help people discover their gifts and use them for God's glory in our community and the world—all while meeting your financial goals.
Your contribution will potentially lower your 2024 taxable income while investing in all that God is doing at Grace Fellowship. We recommend making your gift before December 10th to ensure there is time for your brokerage, custodian, or DAF provider to process the gift and return your receipt before the end of the year!

As we continue to glorify God in all aspects of our lives, I hope you feel inspired by your blessings to consider giving in these ways.
Thank you so much for being a part of our community of believers who proclaim Jesus as Savior, Nurture faith in Jesus, and Serve in the name of Jesus.
