For the month of August we will meet ofr the 10:30 AM Worship service only.
There will be no 9:15 AM Bible study hour.
§ Baptism Class – Have you publicly expressed your faith in Jesus Christ as His follower? The means the Bible puts forth for us to do this is called believer's baptism. If you have any interest in exploring this topic and how it applies to you, please come and join us for a one hour interactive study of baptism (including different views) on Wednesday, July 16th at 7 pm. Please e-mail mary@gcgv.org to let us konw if you are coming or ask any of the pastors if you have questions regarding this important area of Christian obedience.
§ Grace Juniors Activity – The 4th - 6th graders will be celebrating the endo fthe year at Laserquest in Woodbridge on July 23rd from 5:45 - 7:45pm. The cost is $15 per person and Dads are encouraged to attend and play as well. The coast covers two laser tag sessions and pizza. Because a deposit is required, please rsvp and pay Lea Dawson by July 13th.
§ Rebelution Conference – On Saturday, July 26th, we are hoping to caravan a group of 10 - 20 year olds and their parents to Gaighersburg, MD for a day of worship, learning and fellowship. The goal is to encourage teenagers to rebel against the low expectations the culture has set for them, and do hard things for the glory of God.
