HELP, WE'RE A LITTLE CROWDED! Have you noticed that empty seats are a little hard to come by in second service? There are some things you can do to help us make room:
1. Join us for first service. Our 9:00AM service is the same as our 10:15AM service. If you do not need to take advantage of our Children's Church ministry (4 years - 4th grade), would you consider joining us for the first service?
2. Sit toward the middle of a row. Everyone feels self-conscious when you are walking in later, let alone if a chair is hard to come by. If available seats are visible on the aisles, it helps everyone feel more comfortable. No need to save empty seats between you and the family beside you...we're here to worship together!
3. Share a seat with your kid. Since the children leave for Children's Church during the sermon, most of their time with you in the service is spent standing. Could you share a seat with them and simply have them stand in front of you or even on the seat with you?
4. Pray about church planting / church satellite options. Perhaps God desires we plant a church with a significant number of our current people? Will you join us in praying for God's wisdom in regard to future plants? Will you pray that God would raise up church planters from Grace? Would you pray, that if His will, God would move your heart to participate in a church plant?
Parents Of Three Year Olds & Younger--Because we want you to be able to enjoy and focus during our worship service, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of our nursery ministry. Nursery workers will be delighted to help care for your little one, and even provide a pager for you in case your assistance is needed. Your child will be well cared for while you (and those seated around you) will be able to focus on the service.
SHAKE: Wednesday night at 7pm
Counseling Ministry: If you are interested in helping others through difficult issues, so that they can see a answer from the Bible and know Christ more deeply, Steve Short is offering a counseling class our church highly recommends. There are brochures out on the wooden table, or you call call Pastor Steve (547-0009) for more information. (Contact the office to find out about scholarships available to Grace members.)
Fall Bible Study: Ladies, starting the first week of September, we will be doing a 12-week Beth Moore study on Daniel. The evening study will start Wednesday, Sept. 2 from 6:30-8:30. The morning study will start Thursday, Sept. 3 from 9:30-11:30. Go by the table in narthex to sign-up. There will be a $10.00 childcare fee regardless of the number of children you have. This will help cover some of the cost for the childcare workers.

We'd like to extend an invitation to any men that may be interested in joining us.
