Be The Church Sunday, May 6, 2012

There will be only one worship service this Sunday, May 6th at 9:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall

This Sunday we put our faith into action and go out into the community to Be The Church

We will gather at 8:30 a.m. for a light breakfast in Fellowship Hall, worship together at 9:00 a.m. and then go out into the community to be the hands and feet of Christ.

This year, the ministry areas will be:

Be The Church @ the station – Teams will be going out to an area gas station and praying for the people encountered there

Be The Church @ the residence – Teams will be going out to area long term care facilities and engaging the residents with songs, worship, games, etc..

Be The Church @ Generation Genesis – The children will be learning about what it means to serve and why we serve others, and putting health kits together for the United Methodist Committee on Relief

Be The Church @ the block – Teams will be going out into the neighborhood surrounding Grace Church, praying over the houses, and praying with people encountered.

Be The Church @ the park – Teams will be going out to clean the bike path and to paint outbuildings at a local park

Then at 5:00 p.m. everyone is welcome to gather back in Fellowship Hall for dinner and to share the stories of the people encountered and the activities accomplished. 

Come dressed appropriately for your ministry Team focus and we look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!
