Sunday at Grace
Dear Church Family and Friends,
Our young people stuffed a thousand Easter eggs last night after the Good Friday Service. They will be at Flowery Branch Park this afternoon to hide them for the Children who will arrive at 2:00 pm for the:
GREAT GRACE GIGANTIC GALACTIC
EASTER EGG EXPLORATION EXPEDITION
This afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00.
EASTER EGG EXPLORATION EXPEDITION
This afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00.
Some of the eggs are filled with chocolate. Some are filled with sour, make your lips pucker, gummy somethings. I don't know what to call them, but they make the whole inside of your mouth shrivel. I ate one last night and have not gotten over it, yet. Then, there are eggs that have yo-yo's, bugs, slimy critters, and other gooey surprises. There's going to be games, awards, snacks, a most of all a whole bunch of fun! I CAN'T WAIT!
Tomorrow morning starts early--7:00 am early. Wear a sweater or jacket. It's going to be in the 40's. There will be coffee and juice afterwards along with continental breakfast goodies served in the lower building.
The Praise Team practiced until 10:30 last night. I heard just a little of what they are planning for tomorrow. It is going to be “AMEN! REACH-UP-TO-HEAVEN!” good singing tomorrow. Thanks Praise Team for working so hard to make our Resurrection Celebration a praise-worthy worship experience that exalts our Risen Savior.
I'm preaching two services tomorrow. The first will be in the 7:00 Sunrise Service. I will preach a sermon entitled, “Raised to Walk...” It is about the way Baptism demonstrates the truth about the Resurrected Jesus. We are baptized believers who show the world what the Resurrection is by the way we live and act. We are the best evidence there is about the Resurrection. Wake up early and join with your friends at Grace to watch the sun come up, sing about the Amazing Grace of God and celebrate your baptism as proof that the Resurrection is ongoing.
At 8:30 and 11:00, I am preaching a sermon entitled, “Running to Jesus.” It is about all the running that took place on the first Resurrection Sunday morning. Mary ran to tell Peter that the tomb was empty. Peter and John raced to see the empty tomb for themselves. We're still running because of the Resurrection. Pick one of these services to attend and learn what all the Resurrection Running is about. It will be exciting.
Oh, by the way, we will be performing the ordinance of Baptism in the 11:00 service tomorrow morning. We're baptizing three who have made public professions of faith. These will be the first baptisms in our new location. Don't miss your opportunity to welcome the Palmieri family into our church and the kingdom of God.
I look forward to the fellowship of God's people tomorrow morning as we rejoice together in the Good News of Resurrection.
HE IS RISEN!
Pastor Mike
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).
