Brief, But Very Important Equipping!
Sunday, May 19th

Immediately following this Sunday Morning corporate worship, we will have a very brief, but extremely helpful time of preparation and equipping for our Plumb Alley Day ministry.

So, if you are planning on ministering at Plumb Alley Day, please stay.
Isaiah 55 Pray-ers for Marriage
Women of Grace

Do you want to join the team of women covering their husbands in prayer? A new set of rotations of Isaiah 55 Pray-ers for Marriage is about to begin, so now is a great time to sign up! All you need is a heart for prayer and as little as fifteen minutes, only one day every two weeks. For more information, see Anita Fore this Sunday or e-mail her at anita.fore4@gmail.com . Join over a dozen women of Grace who already faithfully pray Scripture over their husbands.
Wonderful Family Missional Opportunity!
Plumb Alley Day

We are blessed again to have the privilege and opportunity to minister at Plum Alley Day on Saturday, May 25th from 9:00am-2:00pm.

It is a great opportunity for us to meet people in our community, to give them a cold bottle of water, to pray with them, to share the Gospel with them, and to give them information about Grace and our up-coming Children's Creative Arts Camp in June. (We will be wearing our new Camp T-shirts)

Sign-up for two hour slots. (9-11; 11-1; 1-end) This way you can serve and then spend some time just walking up the Alley.

So make plans to be on mission on this fun and adventurous day in downtown Abingdon!
Still Going Grocery Shopping This Week?
Bottled Water needed for Plumb Alley Day Ministry

If you have the opportunity, grab a case of bottled water this week as you are grocery shopping. We are in need of about twelve more cases to add to what we already have for Plumb Alley Day. Please place your case(s) on the back porch of the GCF Office.
Coolers needed for Plumb Alley Day Ministry

We need coolers for the water bottles for Plumb Alley Day! Please label them with your name and leave them on the back porch of the church office on Sunday morning (May 19) or no later than Friday, May 24 at noon.
