Sunday at Grace
Dear Church Family and Friends,
Our church is in the middle of its Summer schedule of activities. We go from Vacation Bible School last week to the Student Summer Rafting Retreat next weekend. Also, we are all looking forward to the Summer Church-wide Picnic as well next Sunday at Bolding Mill Park on Lake Lanier. As the Summer warms up, so does the fun and fellowship at Grace.
Tomorrow morning, I will preach the last sermon in the Upward Reach series entitled, “Open Your Front Door to Jesus” from Colossians 3:16-17. Worship is the crowning touch when your life is dedicated to living on a higher plane. When you've been dressed up with the elements of Christ's character like compassion, peace, kindness and the like, you are ready to go to church and worship. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to come before the King of Glory with singing and joyful enthusiasm. We will complete our experience of upward living with all-out praise tomorrow morning.
I am planning a new sermon series next week entitled, “Good News - Bad News.” It will be a series of sermons based on the words of Jesus to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. It will be exciting and illuminating to hear of John's vision while in prison on the Isle of Patmos. Each church that he includes has much to be proud of and ready to use in the service of the Lord. Every church also has improvements to make in order to be everything God requires of His people. Grace is not far from where these churches were. We have both “Good News” to be happy about, and “Bad News” for which we need to repent and change. We all have improvements to make. I look forward to jumping into the book of Revelation with you on the 14th.

Sundays Are Great At Grace
Welcome to Grace Baptist Church. Of all the names given to churches everywhere, the name chosen by this congregation over 50 years ago says everything about the heart of God whom we serve. God's purpose of Grace was in His heart before sin was ever in the heart of man.
Grace expresses the eternal purpose of God to redeem us from our sins: "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, NASV). Grace is the glorious display of God' sovereign goodness.
The character of Grace Baptist Church is not only conveyed in the gospel we preach, but in the manner by which God's amazing grace is shown through our fellowship and sharing with others. Our church is committed to not only proclaim the message of God's amazing grace, but also to show it by the way we live for Jesus every day. We truly want to be people who are filled with God's grace and freely give it away.
We invite you and your family to come attend our services and see if we are the people we propose to be. Better yet, come join with us and help us become more and more a people who are like what our name says we are, "...much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:17b, NASV)
I pray God's grace for you. It will abundantly save you through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7, NASV). God's amazing grace will bless your life, your family and friends, as you daily live for Jesus. I look forward to seeing and greeting you soon in the name of Jesus. "...Grace be with you" (Colossians 4:18).
