Announcements for January 12-18

Life Groups--If you have not yet joined a LIFEGroup, now would be the perfect time to sign up. Groups will be starting up in full force again after the first of the year, and since we’ll be starting into a new book (Leviticus) it would be a perfect time to join in. If you are interested, simply tear off the portion in the bulletin and list your contact information and best available nights (anything but Monday or Saturday). Then, either place the sheet in the offering plate or place it on the main desk in the office. Someone will then contact you. It’s that easy!

Welcome to Grace--Are you interested in knowing more about Greenville Grace. Perhaps you've been coming for a while and would like to determine if Grace is your permanent home. Then we recommend the "Welcome to Grace" Class. This class will meet at 6:30pm on January 11, 18 & 25 (each class builds on another, so all three are necessary). If you would like to check out this class, please fill out the tear off portion of the bulletin and place it in the offering or on Sonda's desk.

Baptism--We will be having a baptism celebration on January 25th. Please plan to join us to celebrate the work of Christ in the lives of people here at Grace!

Grace’s Snow Policy--Wondering what we will do in case of a major snowfall? Our current policy is, unless there is a Level 3 warning out (making it illegal to travel on the roads) we will meet here for those who can make it. If we make any changes or cancellations, we’ll do our best to get it posted on local media outlets, but a few little flurries aren’t going to scare us away. Besides, if we all got snowed in at the church, can you think of a better place to get stuck?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!--Words cannot express the amazing gift it is to shepherd here at Greenville Grace. God has called us--undeservedly--to Himself. He's given us the privilege to be undershepherds. Then He lavishes His grace upon us by allowing us to serve at Greenville Grace. The Christmas gift this year, with your generosity and care, is a great example of this. We praise God for you and thank you for your generosity.--Danny, Jason & Matt (and our wives!)

Men's Fellowship- This Saturday, January 17, all men are invited to our Men's Fellowship time as we will be discussing how to become a man of accountability. Breakfast will be served at 7 am and the meeting should conclude around 8:15. Hope to see you there!

Dare 2 Share: (Jan. 30-31)
All teens that are planning on going to Dare 2 Share need to get their money and permission slips in by Wednesday, January 7th. Please make checks out to Greenville Grace. There will be an informational meeting for parents Wed. January 21st @ 6 PM. Please see Matt if you have any questions or email him at: matt@greenvillegrace.org.

LOVE & RESPECT VIDEO CONFERENCE--Greenville Fellowship is offering a six week video teaching from Emerson Eggerich (starting January 26th). Each Monday they will be meeting here at Grace to watch the videos and have a time of discussion. They want to make sure Greenville Grace people know they are also invited! Childcare will be provided on a donation basis, and there is no cost for the conference (a $10 workbook is optional). If you are interested, please contact Rich/Linda Deaton (678.8409).

Men’s Ministry--Starting February 9th, we will be launching a new aspect of our Men's Ministry. Come join with other men, every other Monday night, for a study of the Book of Romans as well as a time of equipping to better serve our wife, children and our church. Keep your eyes open for more details to come!

Elder Study--We will be offering another "Biblical Eldership Class" every other Monday night. Class will begin February 16th @ 7pm and will run through August 3rd. If you are interested, please fill out the tear off portion of the bulletin and place it in the offering, or on Sonda's desk.

Women’s Study--Starting February 19, we will be studying, “Becoming God’s True Woman” by Nancy Demoss and “Feminine Appeal” by Carolyn Mahaney. Both books have similar topics and compliment each other. You will be contacted for cost of class. Go by table in narthex to sign up. Deadline is January 4.

WEEKEND TO REMEMBER--Another Family Life Conference is coming to Cincinnati this March 6-8. Many people in our church can vouch for the benefit of these conferences. Every marriage, regardless of its condition, can benefit from some intentional focus. We'd highly recommend you check out the table in the narthex to receive more information. Also, see Dan or Jeni Berger for information about potential discounts.

Attention Ladies--Overnight Retreat on April 17 & 18, at The Golden Eagle Retreat Center, Palestine, OH. See fliers on table in narthex for more details.
