Co-Heirs With Christ - Luke 15.31-32
November 22

Dear Grace of Christ Family,

As a child of God, you do not need to wait until eternity to receive and enjoy all that belongs to you as a "Co-heir with Christ” The blessings of God - the riches of Heaven - the peace of Christ. They are all available to you right now. As a member of God's family, all that belongs to God, also belongs to you. The celebration you are to experience is not reserved for Heaven. 

The early church went one step further. They lived with the truth that they had all things in common, able to give and receive from one another as part of the same family. At times one member receives, while another member gives. Then, at other times those who gave may be in need and others have the blessing to give. That is what it means to be in the Family of God. When one rejoices, we all rejoice. When one suffers, we all suffer.

As we finish up the story of the Prodigal Son, we will see who we are as children of God, members of the family of God. We will see that we can celebrate what is ours in Christ, now and in eternity. Whether we choose to participate with the family of God is up to us. Just as it was for the older son. 

Because of Christ, and by His Grace,
Pastor Bill

Help us share the Light of Christ with the students at Adams Elementary School. You can buy some gifts, give financially and/or help pass out the presents....
How do you want to share?

Family at Grace is partnering with Creative Yakima to help bring some Christmas Cheer to those in our congregation who are homebound. Your family will be connected with a homebound member of our congregation for you to bless with a beautiful hand painted ornament. Your family will have the opportunity to paint an ornament for a friend at Grace as well as a special ornament for your own family.
For every ornament you buy, Creative Yakima will donate one for you to paint and give away. So if you order one ornament, you will get 2, if you order 2, you will get 4.

John Wesley was famous for asking the question,
“How is it with your soul?”
If someone asked you that question, what would you say? Are you aware of your soul? How do you define the soul?  
Book Donations Needed For Adams Kids At Home!

Contact: Alex@yakimagrace.com. Meet at Adams. Volunteers will be paired up with a Spanish speaker. Takes about 90-120 minutes.
