Who Are You? Series: "Proclaim Transformation"
We continue our journey into the question, "Who Are You?" to discover that "who we are" is indelibly linked to "Whose we are." Now it is time to proclaim to the world from the mountaintop that transformation is possible. How have you changed in the last 8 weeks?

Office News
The carpet is to be replaced in the main office this Saturday. In light of that, we will be disconnecting equipment, including the phones, late Friday afternoon. If you have the need to call on Friday, please do so BEFORE 3 PM. Thank you!
New on the Podcast
We have recently added messages from the contemporary worship service to our podcast! In the past, the only archives have been of the sermons in the Sanctuary services. So, if you'd like to get another perspective on the week's topic, try listening to the contemporary service message each week! The podcast is available through iTunes or directly on our website at www.firstmethodistgrapevine.org/podcast.
2016 Annual Report
The year 2016 was a banner year in our church! We celebrated 150 years of ministry and shared many milestones in our journey together.
If you missed it in last week's E-News, we

GRACE Needs Storage Space
The space that GRACE has been using to store seasonal items and supplies will no longer be available to them (used for Christmas Cottage toys, Feed our Kids supplies, Transitional Housing housewares & furniture and Resale seasonal merchandise). They are in need of 3,000 square feet of storage space (multiple sites or all one site, preferably within Grapevine). If you have storage space that you would be willing to donate for use by GRACE, please contact Shonda Schaefer at 817-305-4650. Also note that when it's time for the move, we'll let you know about needs for volunteers.
Food for the GRACE Food Pantry
Don't forget to grab some extra items when you do your grocery shopping!
GRACE is currently completely out of toilet paper and size 6 diapers. They are also low on condiments, salt and pepper, ramen noodles, juice, pasta sauce, dry pastas, canned meat, and canned fruit. Visit the
GRACE website for a full list of needs. If you would like to donate any of these items, please bring your donations to the God Can bins outside the church office or in the Sanctuary Foyer/Atrium.
