Weekly Update

This is a great time to gather your family and friends and join us for our annual Churchwide celebration of Christmas Eve. We’re starting at 7:30PM this year and we’ll have candles and carols and cookies!

Our annual opportunity for our church family to love on the community! We’ll have a simple meal, Bingo, and fun activities. Come share a cup of hot chocolate or invite your friends.

Stop by for our annual Christmas Party Open House! We’ll be at the Fair’s house (get the address on Sunday). See you there!

Thank you for helping us bless our brothers and sisters in Haiti this season! We know this will be a huge blessing to them and will be a tangible expression of our love for each of them! Here’s how it will work:

1. Look over the list of needs below and choose an item or a few that you want to purchase.

• • If purchasing items, please bring those to the church and drop off at the Connections area. Donations need to be dropped off by Sunday, December 8^th.
  • To make a monetary donation to help cover shipping costs and other supplies needed for this project, please place that in an envelope and leave with a Connections team member or give online by selecting the fund labeled ‘Haiti Angel Tree’.

2. All donations need to be at the church by Sunday, December 8, 2024.

Donation Needs

• Shampoo
• Bars of soap
• Toothpaste
• Toothbrushes
• Deodorant
• Socks (adult and child)
• Lotion

We also would like to purchase other items that can be enjoyed. If you would like to give toward these purchases, please donate online or use an envelope to leave a monetary donation on a Sunday.

Meet in the Family Room after the service from 11:30-12:15p. Everyone is welcome.

A member of our church family graciously donated enough money for everyone to grab an envelope who was there on Sunday November 24th with a small amount of cash. Your only expectation? Give it away and experience God’s joy as you do!

As you give it away, let us know how you gave away your money by filling out the form.

After an amazing two-year journey, we are celebrating all the ways God moved throughout our For the Sake of Others campaign. It will is very moving to look back and see God’s faithfulness.

See all the updates from Haiti, the Oxford Dream Center, and even people who gave sacrificially. Watch videos, read testimonies, and check out the impact reports!

During the twelve days of Christmas, we’ll have the opportunity to read a short, daily devotional from someone in our church family about a spiritual gift. You can read these on the app or right here.

Grace Gathering is hosting PrayerWorks on the 2nd Saturday of every month. Hosting simply involves welcoming people into the space, offering to show them around, and praying for them if you are comfortable. You won’t be alone! An official PrayerWorks Host will be there the entire time.

Time slots are available for you from 8a – 6p. Would you consider signing up for one hour each month?

If you aren’t able to commit to a regular rhythm but you’d like to be on a sub list, please send your name, email address, and phone number to tomandcarin81@yahoo.com.
