First Sunday OCC Offering

Next Sunday, May 5, will be our special OCC offering for our Shoebox Ministry. There will be provided envelopes in the back of the chairs for you to use or you can give online through our Grace website.

This is our Last Emphasis Sunday for North American Missions!

There is still time to give and to pray for our 3000 North American Missionaries serving in the US and Canada.

Our giving goal is $1200.00

If you would still like to give, you can give in two ways:

• Place your giving in the offering basket on the back table (if possible use the special AAEO giving envelope and be sure to earmark any checks to “AAEO 2024”)
• Give online at www.gracecfchurch.org and click on the “Give” tab. (be sure to designate to “AAEO 2024”)

RSVP for our Camping Trip by May 1!

Join us for a grand weekend of outdoor adventure at Hungry Mother State Park! We're heading there for our next church camping trip from Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2. Expect fellowship and fun amidst beautiful scenery. Secure a spot by RSVPing to Catherine Denton at 276-698-4762 by May 1st.

On Saturday, we plan to hike, play games, hold a potluck feast, and end the day with a cozy campfire and treats. Whether camping overnight or not, everyone is welcome to join in the fun! Stay tuned for more details.

Opportunities to Serve our Fellowship

If you would like to know how you might serve the Lord by serving one another in our Grace Fellowship, then take some time this coming Sunday to stop by the Deacon Ministry table and see what God may have in store for you.

We are in the process of building our Facilities Ministry Team and our Care and Helps Ministry Team. Talk to both Nick Hill and Lance Seal for more info and how you can be useful to the Master in serving our church family.

Operation Christmas Child

Did you know that The Shoebox Ministry is really a year round ministry in our church? We would like to encourage giving a special offering designated

for OCC on the first Sunday of each month. Our OCC team leaders will use these monthly offerings to make bulk purchases. All designated OCC offerings in April will be used to purchase hygiene items: soap, soap boxes, wash cloths, toothbrushes, hair combs for boys, and hair brushes for girls. If you have questions, please call or text Larry Elledge.
