FAMILY Conversation – January 19: Hey, Grace FAMILY, the elders are excited to invite you to join us after 2nd service for a FAMILY conversation about what God is up to now at Grace, and what He might want to do through our church. This will be a time to celebrate and consider the ways the Spirit is moving among us, to consider how we might activate our Body more fully in discipleship, to dream about how God might be leading us to impact the city and our ministry footprint, and to pray together for our church. If you call Grace your church home, please join us. Pizza and childcare will be provided. Please go ahead and sign up so we will have enough food. Thanks! REGISTER HERE.
