This Sunday at Grace:
Dear Church Family and Friends,
GRACE LIVE STREAM WORSHIP
TOMORROW MORNING
10:30 AM
TOMORROW MORNING
10:30 AM
Join our service and sing praise and share in the preaching of God's word at home. This past Wednesday night the Deacon Body along with the Stewardship Team closed all on-campus Worship Services, Sunday School and Ministry Events until April 19 or until the "All Clear" is issued by our government leaders. Until that time, we will continue to be Grace Baptist Church. Here are some of the things that will be happening:
Should you need assistance from your church family during this time, contact your family Deacon. Also, you may choose to email, text or contact Pastor Mike at:
Let's stay in touch with each other. The Bible says that we should, "...confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." (James 5:16)
This is certainly true in times of national crisis. The confession part of this scripture should encourage us all to be more in tune with each other. It would be a blessing for you to just call another church member to pray with them. Why not send and email or a text to a church friend and write out a brief prayer for them. These present circumstances may make us act more like a real church than we have before. Be an encourager to someone. Let's not allow COVID 19 to keep us from loving each other in Jesus name.
Note: The On-Line Giving platform "Generosity" will not be available until next week. Roll outs of the On-Line Bible studies will take place as soon as they are available. We will keep you posted on our progress by mail, the Grace Church website and by email.
Let's stay in touch.
- Worship will continue to take place by our Live Steaming service each week. You may access the service by Facebook Live.
- The Deacon Body will contact our entire church family on a weekly basis using their Deacon Family Ministry plan to check the health status, family needs and prayer requests throughout of congregation.
- The pastor will continue to prepare sermons and Bible studies, contact the church family by phone and email, and make personal visits for emergencies or hospitalizations based on need and following the 6' separation rule.
- On-line giving through Lifeway's "Generosity" giving venue is being arranged for our church family so that you may continue to contribute tithes and offerings through our church web site.
- Thank you letters and giving envelopes will be sent to our church family in order to provide continued giving opportunity to our membership to contribute to the church's financial needs.
- Bible studies for children, students and adults are in the process of being arranged for our church family so that you may gather in your home for the study of God's word on a weekly basis.
Should you need assistance from your church family during this time, contact your family Deacon. Also, you may choose to email, text or contact Pastor Mike at:

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).
