Our Children's Ministry Team met last Sunday afternoon to talk about how to begin our ministry to children in a safe and healthy way. We are seeing more children with parents and grandparents each Sunday as we continue in-person worship. The following tentative schedule was agreed upon:
This is a very gradual and guarded beginning. It will give us ample time to see how reopening of schools goes in order that we may make adjustments if necessary. We are committed to keeping our children safe. We will not do anything that will add to the risk or jeopardize the health of our young ones. We'll keep you posted.
Our Deacon Body meets tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 to evaluate and determine the next steps for our church. We believe the Lord is with us and that He is keeping us generally healthy. Pray for our deacons as they seek God's direction going forward.
I plan to preach a message tomorrow entitled "Fake Leaders" from Psalm 119:161-168. Let me say right off that this sermon is not about any particular leader or party. We are not pointing fingers. We need to hear these days what the Bible says about true leadership. The Psalmist asks the question, "What do you do when leaders become adversaries?"
This sermon is about us all rather than any particular leader.
What do we do when our leaders fail to lead us according to God's standard?
The Psalmist gives us some very good advice from a perspective that is different than what you might expect. Be in your place tomorrow to hear what the Bible has to say.

It is important during these days of concern over the Coronavirus outbreak in our country for all of our families, members and guests to be as cautious and safe as possible. According to the CDC website at Coronavius.gov we should be taking the following steps:
1.Wash your hands often using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If using a hand sanitizer, use one that contains at least 60% alcohol.
2.Do your best to keep your hands away from your face. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
3.Avoid close contact. Stay at least 3 feet away from other people whenever possible.
4.If you develop a fever, stay at home and contact your doctor by phone. Your doctor will advise you appropriately.
5.Cough or Sneeze into your elbow rather than into your hands.
According to the latest information, 17 cases of the virus have been reported in Georgia. School closings and event cancellations have been reported.
As of today, there are no reports among our senior adults or children who have developed symptoms or sickness since Sunday.
Keep praying for the health of our church family, for all those who have contracted the virus and for our officials across the country who have the great responsibility of dealing with this health emergency. PRAYER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
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).
