A Note from...
Tony Leonard
September 1st marks the first day of the Church Ministry Year. August serves as a month of preparing and making plans for the new year. In last week’s sermon, the main idea was to “Reset and Refresh to Move Forward". Three areas to Reset and Refresh fall under the labels of KNOW, GROW, AND GO. While preparing for the new year, make sure you are involved in worship, a small group, and ministry. Beginning this Sunday we will be signing up for ministry teams and mission opportunities. Please pray and consider how you will serve faithfully in the new year.
One opportunity for growing in fellowship is our monthly Church-wide Connect Meal. On the first Sunday evening of every month, we will be hosting a meal for the purpose of getting to know one another. Whether you are a member, regular attender, guest or even someone who would like to become a part of GraceWorks, we want to use the mealtime to get to know one another. The meals will alternate between catered, covered dish, or prepared by GW ‘chefs’. For meals other than covered dish, expenses will need to be covered in advance. Please pay in person in the foyer on Sundays or through online QR code (See below). The menu for each month will be published in the newsletter and bulletin. Even if you are not interested in the meal choice, please come and spend time with the GraceWorks family.
Another new opportunity for GraceWorks is a LIFE group for all adults ages 25-40 (Pathfinder LIFE group). An introductory meal will be held on Sunday night, August 24 to present more information regarding the vision for this special ministry. Invitations are being texted. If you are 25-40 and don’t receive a text, please let us know in the office.
Let’s expect this upcoming year to be the greatest ever in GraceWorks history. Be sure to be an active part of the family. To God be the glory!
