A Note from PJ
Hi friend–
We’re excited to be planning the Christmas Eve services and hope you’ll be able to join us as we worship our Lord together. If you’d like to be part of the multigenerational worship choir that day, just fill out this google form and invite a friend to join you!
Tomorrow we’ll have communion in each of our services and I’ll be giving the message. Plus, there are a lot of new Bible studies and classes at both the Olmsted and Middleburg campuses; see the full list, with locations and times, here.
Christmas Day falls on Sunday this year. Since we’ll be worshipping together on Christmas Eve, we will not be having onsite services on December 25th. We have been working on a special worship experience for Christmas Day which you can watch anytime and share with anyone you want. The link will be available early Christmas morning on our website. Again, we will not have onsite services on Christmas Day.
Below is a list of people who have lost loved ones recently, as well as a family who welcomed a new little one. Thanks for your prayers for these friends, that the Lord will fill them with His perfect peace.
As you plan your year-end giving, I want to say again how thankful I am for the impact of our church family this past year! One example of that: the impact at Lorain Correctional continues to grow as more and more guys get plugged in.
In fact, this week Pastor Scott Lessing received the “Volunteer of the Year” award at a special dinner (he says he received it on behalf of all the volunteers from Grace!). The impact of our giving honors the Lord and touches so many lives. Thanks for helping us finish the year strong and launch into 2023 with financial strength.
Grateful for you!
Jonathan
