A Message From...

Tony Leonard

Beginning Sunday, I will be sharing a series of sermons taken from the book of Philippians. Philippians is one of the apostle Paul's letters to the church regarding unity in the church, joy and contentment in life, and living in Christ. The motto for 2026 is “Forward Together.” Philippians is a great study of a unified church moving forward. Philippians is a short book of four chapters. Be sure to read the book prior to Sunday. I'm excited to see what God does in Grace Works this year as we move forward together.

Begin the New Year by growing in God’s Word. Make it a goal to read through the Bible this year! Copies of various Bible reading plans are available in the foyer. Our Daily Bread devotionals are also available.

Ladies of Grace is a welcoming small group Bible study for women who desire to grow deeper in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and encourage one another through God’s Word. Together, we explore Scripture in a supportive and grace-filled environment, discussing how biblical truth applies to everyday life - our families, friendships, challenges, and callings. Through guided Bible study, thoughtful conversation, and fellowship, Ladies of Grace seek to strengthen faith, nurture spiritual growth, and remind each woman of her identity and purpose in Christ.

Whether you are new to Bible study or have been walking with God for many years, you are invited to come, connect, and grow in grace every Wednesday, from 5-6 PM in the Hospitality Room.

Blankets of Love, a ministry, provides small comfort to those babies and families who use the Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House or are in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Chattanooga Children’s Hospital by knitting, crocheting, or quilting a blanket and/or stuffed animal. Since we began this ministry in 2024, Blankets of Love has delivered 464 blankets and 66 handmade stuffed animals. We will resume on January 31 from 10 AM to 12 PM in the Annex.

Everyone is welcome to join any time or work from home, whatever best fits your schedule, and regardless of your skill level. There is a flyer on the members' desk in the church foyer with all other dates for sewing circles and tagging parties. Please join us in this worthwhile ministry.
