Some Thoughts from
Pastor Wes 

RWTOct12

"Sing!"

"Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. 

Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. 

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does."
Psalm 33:1-4

Join us Sunday morning as we worship the Lord in song and word.
This Sunday at Grace Community
This Sunday we will be celebrating Jesus Christ, our Lord, particularly through music. 

Pastor Wes will be sharing a brief message from Scripture on the importance of persevering, staying strong to the very end.
Farewell Dinner

The farewell dinner marking the end of Pastor Wes' ministry at Grace Community Church  will be on Saturday, August 22nd at 5:30 pm.   If you would like to attend, you do need to either use the sign-up sign-up sheet at church or send an email to RWTink01@gmail.com expressing your intention to attend.  We need to have an accurate count of how many to expect. Thanks!

Truth From God's Word
"A psalm. Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn-- shout for joy before the LORD, the King. Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity."
---Psalm 98-1-9
