Announcements for April 13-20-08


ELDER COMMISSIONING--It is our joy to recognize Monty Stump as an elder of Greenville Grace! Monty has presented himself for examination by the elders and church body and has shown himself to be above reproach. We're excited this morning to affirm to not only affirm Monty's character but to express he has already been a shepherd to people at Grace and trust he will continue to do so. Scripture tells us we should pray for our elders, and we encourage you to specifically pray and praise God for Monty and his lovely wife Krista. We are delighted to have him "officially" on the team!


SUMMER PLANS?-- Each summer, we provide Sunday evening classes to help equip you in your pursuit of Christ. So, keep your eyes (and Sunday evenings) open for the announcement of this year's "Summer Studies."


Learning to Discern: Looking for a good book to read that is faithful to the Spirit of Christ? Sometimes the options seem overwhelming and a recommendation would go a long way. Did you know that this is one of the things our blog offers? Check out http://ggbcnews.blogspot.com to get book recommendations, church updates and additional information. You can also find the blog by following the link from our main website (greenvillegrace.org).


Sisters Brunch--FOR LADIES ONLY! Please join us on Saturday, April 19th from 10am - noon for a time of food and fellowship. Bring your favorite breakfast food with 4 servings to share. This will be a casual, informal time to get to know your sisters-in-Christ at Grace Church! If you have any questions, please call Lois Jones @ 548-6965.

Men’s Prayer Breakfast-- April 19th, 7am


BAPTISM SERVICE--We hope you plan to join us for our baptism service next Sunday night. Baptism is not "just" a personal privilege, but it is a joy for the entire church to experience a person's baptism. This service, we have the extra joy of joining with four other area churches. If you consider yourself a disciple of Jesus, yet you have not obeyed Him in baptism, we encourage you to contact the office...there's still time to be baptized at this service! (April 20th, 6pm @ 7757 Greenville-Celina Road)


Unlimited Fun Outing for Your Unfinished Originals--Ladies, come craft, scrapbook or just fellowship with other ladies. Bring a snack and have some fun, April 25, 6:30 pm.


VBS: Yes it’s that time of year to start thinking about and planning for VBS. The dates for this year’s VBS will be: July 7th-11th. The theme will be “Things Hidden” which is a study on the kingdom parables found in the Gospels. At this time we are beginning to put together a planning team for VBS and would love to have your help. If you’re interested in helping, please see Matt or email him at matt@greenvillegrace.org. We would greatly appreciate your ideas and insight!
