This Sunday evening, December 21, we will have an evening Christmas Service of Scripture and music at 6:30.  Plan to stay afterward for a time of fellowship.     

You are welcome to us the GCCN church mailboxes to "send" Christmas cards to other people in the congregation.  Bring your cards this Sunday and save the price of stamps.  

Each year we begin with Covenant Sunday at Grace Community Church.   This service, which was part of the John Wesley-early Methodist practice is a time to remember our commitment to God and our salvation in Jesus Christ.  You can prepare for the Covenant Service by going to our website and reading the documents relating to the Covenant and Covenant Service under the "Membership" tab.  If you prefer a printed copy of these documents, please contact Pastor Wes for a digital copy. 

There is a family which has recently had twins who are premature and still in the hospital--until January.   Grace Community Church is reaching out to this family with assistance in a variety of ways. If you are able to provide clothing or basic needs for young infants, please speak with JoAnne Oliver.   A baby shower is being planned for mid-January.

Men, the Tuesday night group will begin on January 20 at 7:00 pm, Pastor Wes' home.  We will meet every other week for 10 sessions.  The topic will be "God's Power for Transformation." We will take a look at how God is transforming people and communities around the world in the 21st century.  We will also see from Scripture what His will is for transforming our own lives. This men's ministry exists for growth, support, encouragement and to aid in finding God's plan for life.   

As we come to the end of 2014, the Church is below the financial threshold for meeting our ministry commitments.  In addition to losing some faithful tithing families who moved to other areas, there has also been continuing hardship in the lives of some within our congregation.  If you are able to give a generous donation as we close this year, it would help greatly in supporting the important ministries of the Church. Thank you!
