Prayers for Deb Meyers

As she recovers from a recent non-Covid related incident. She will not be able to be in church on Sunday as usual, running everything for our worship service, but fortunately she has a good team. However, the live stream on YouTube and Facebook may or may not happen. Try all formats, including our website, and know that if things don't work, there will be a recording that can be viewed later.  
Dear Grace of Christ Family,

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (I John 4.9-11)
 
We are drawing closer and closer to the Christmas. Each Sunday reminds us of how close we are getting. There are four Sundays prior to Christmas, the four Sundays of Advent. This Sunday is the 3rd Sunday of Advent. We have looked at HOPE and Peace the past two Sundays. As we gather together for Worship this week, either in person or across the internet, we will take a look at LOVE. 

Prayers for the family of Ray Riese, he passed away on Dec 4, 2020.
He was Parish Associate for Senior Ministries here at Grace of Christ. Take a moment and remember the good he did within our community.
