Announcements for Sept. 1-7-08

Fall Schedule - Service times starting September 7th

Our LIFE Group ministry is getting ready to start up. LIFE Groups are the small group ministry in our church. These groups are our way of living out Acts 2 as a church and for loving one another in all the ways Scripture describes. We are asking all people who would like to be in a LIFE Group (even if you plan to attend the same group as last year) to fill out a card in the narthex. If you are not sure about our LIFE Groups or would like more information, you can grab a booklet in the narthex as well.

If you were at our “vision night” this summer, we mentioned the possibility of a new discipleship resource. We are interested in offering a class this coming fall, provided there is enough interest from the Body. At this point, we are not committing to the accredited school program, but want to see how useful the classes are first. Would you take the class if it were offered? If so, will you contact Sonda (547-0065/ office@greenvillegrace.org) and let her know.
