Announcements for March 16-22

SHAUN & JENNIFER SACHS--It is our joy to welcome Shaun and Jennifer Sachs as members of Greenville Grace. Shaun and Jennifer recently publicly testified to their faith in Christ through water baptism. They have taken the "Welcome to Grace" class, understanding the nature of the commitment of church membership, and want the family at Grace to know their commitment. We're excited to make it official!

DANIEL/TERESSA PIERCE
--As pastors/elders of Grace, we want to thank the body for their overwhelming support for Daniel and Teressa last week through a love offering. God was glorified and the Pierces were blessed. Please join with us in praying for wisdom for the Pierces as they seek God's next step for them in ministry.

SERMONEUTICS--"Sermoneutics" is two things: 1) a made up word. 2) an upcoming men's study exploring the "why, how and what" of preaching. If you would like to refine your gifts in preaching/teaching, would like to explore whether God has called you to preach/teach, would like to know how to evaluate preaching/teaching, or would simply like to dive into some Scriptures with other men in order to grow closer to God...then this class if for you. We will meet every other Monday night starting this Monday night.
