A Prayer for Jerusalem—Pray for the peace of Jerusalem 

Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch. The nations will see your righteousness. World leaders will be blinded by your glory. And you will be given a new name by the Lord’s own mouth. The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see— a splendid crown in the hand of God. Isaiah 62 

 

 

With Our Sympathy & Love We share with you that Robin Christie went to be with The Lord Friday, June 13. We first met Robin in October 2024 on a Baptism at the Beach Sunday and heard her proclaim her love and trust in Jesus as her Savior. After a short health decline, she is now with Him. We’ll miss you, Robin! 

Rejoicing in the Child Dedications Today of: Belle Cardoza, Elliana Cardoza, Sebastian Prusinowski, Oliver Prusinowski, Clark Rardon, John Rardon, Paul Rardon, Conner Sackett, Mary-Rhys Shirley & Christian Shirley. “Children who are born to a young man are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.” Ps.127 

Worship In the Park Next Sunday— One Service! With July 4th approaching, we will hold one service June 29th at 10:00 a.m. at Jarvis Creek Park with a picnic lunch to follow. If you’re able, bring your own chair / blanket to sit on. Children will be with their families (no childcare). Dress comfortable! For lunch, we will provide grilled hotdogs, burgers and cold drinks. Bring a side to share. Sides suggested: ready to eat watermelon/ grapes/ fruit, non-perishable salads, baked beans & desserts. Due to limited parking spaces at the park, remember the disabled, seniors and those with kids in car seats need the close parking. The Children’s Center, adjacent to the Park is opening their parking to us (a very walkable distance). If it rains, we’ll meet at the Church campus. Listen for the sounds of Freedom of Worship, Family and Jesus and let’s let our light shine! Join together to give thanks for the United States of America and the gift of public worship of the risen Lord. 

Thank you from Last Sunday Kevin Tuttle shared… “On behalf of Janice, Caleb, Caroline & myself we wanted to send our heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity to worship with the entire Grace family. From the time we walked through the doors everyone was so warm and inviting. You made us feel at home and like family on our first visit. Our divine intersection with your church started in 2020 when we joined your online services. I felt honored yet inadequate to share a small portion of our/my journey, but I am praying that God used, and will use, His word from that experience. May God’s blessings continue to uplift your work for Him. Time is short!” If you missed last Sunday’s message, you’ll want to go online and listen! 

Wednesday Ladies Bible Study will begin a new summer study this week running from June 25—July 30 from 10-11:30 a.m. We’ll be going through the Old Testament book of Ruth. God’s grand story of redemption for all creation can be found in seemingly mundane events: tragedy, integrity in the face of opposition, and generosity. The book of Ruth invites us to consider how God might be at work in our lives. Ruth is about God's mission to restore her and her family through her boldness and loyalty, and she ends up in the family tree of Jesus! An excellent study for women brand new to bible study or long time learners! Penny Culpepper and Ginny McCaskey co-lead this group
