GRACE NEWS
VOTE YES ON 1
Yes On 1 is a community-based outreach to raise awareness of the proposed
pro-life Tennessee constitutional amendment slated for public vote
on November 4, 2014! For more information visit www.yeson1.org
FALL REVIVAL AT GRACE
Dr. Nelson Perdue is a tenured evangelist in the Church of the Nazarene
having served full-time since 1974. His ministry has taken him to four
continents of the world. He is a faithful exponent of the message of
scriptural holiness. Start praying now for October 15-19 as we seek a spirit
of renewal!
ALABASTER OFFERING
The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around
the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God
and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help
provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and
convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down
roots." Alabaster funds help provide land for many Work & Witness
projects, and the entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of
land and construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes
for missionaries and national workers. Grace Church will receive this
special missions offering on Sunday, September 28!
FRIEND DAY
October 26 is our annual Friend Day! Let's start inviting and praying now!
SANCTUARY SEATING
Our church board has studied, prayed, and voted to replace our current
seating with luxury sanctuary chairs. By doing this, we go from seating 300
people in our sanctuary to a capacity of 400 people! Prayerfully consider
providing a chair for your entire family, even those who may not yet attend
Grace! The total amount needed for these seats will be $20,000! That
means each chair is $50...pledge sheets are available at the Connections
Center for you to make a commitment to make Grace's sanctuary more
attractive and comfortable for worshiping the Lord! Pledges can be made
as a one-time gift, weekly, or monthly! Contact the church office with any
questions.
LIFE GROUPS
All of these groups meet each Sunday morning at 9:45-10:40am.
