Series: What To Expect When You’re Expecting 

Message Title: Expecting Peace 

Isaiah 9:6-7 and John 14:27 

 

And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! 

Jesus said, “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” 

 

 

Grace’s Christmas Party is tonight at 5:30 p.m. A special evening together with music from Larry Perigo and Target The Band. Target The Band has been performing for 50 years and promises great song selections and professionalism. Larry Perigo has been a long time Islander favorite with The Headliners. It’s a good opportunity for you to invite your friends to Grace! We’ll serve a variety of finger foods, enjoy friendships and a fun night of Christmas joy! This is the annual occasion that we collect new toys for the Victims Advocacy program (BCSO) - to include bikes this year. We ask you to bring a NEW gift (if able) to donate for a local child who has lost a parent this year, witnessed a traumatic event or is a crime victim (ages 1-17). Especially need: bikes for all ages, sports balls & gloves. There will be no childcare or child entertainment during the event. 

With The Lord We want to share that Elaine Litecky is now with the Lord as of November 21, just days before her 92nd birthday. We know she is rejoicing to be with her Savior. A service celebrating her life will be after the holidays.

Africa Mission Project with Harvesters Ministries We have launched “The Amaler Church & Ministry Center” project to provide a church facility for a largely unreached people group. Amaler is located in a very remote Kenyan region yet to be reached with the Gospel. The building could serve as a chapel for the village school, as well as many other opportunities. A water well has been installed there and has a very good yield. The building plan includes the church building, toilets and developing the water supply. Reuben Meriakol will be overseeing this. The project goal is $75,000. Designate Africa– Amaler. We’re at $9,350. Praise God!
