GRACE NEWS - Nov. 4 - Nov. 10, 2012


GET ACQUAINTED TODAY!
Come join us at our ‘Potluck Luncheon’  immediately following this morning’s service and come  get to know some of the NEWCOMERS at Grace Church.

Fasting and Prayer
Several members of Grace Church have made a commitment to spend Monday and Tuesday in ‘Fasting and Prayer’ for the ELECTION DAY on Tuesday, Nov. 6th, as well as for the victims of hurricane Sandy and the next storm forcasted to hit on Thursday. We invite you to come join us in prayer Tuesday morning in the Sanctuary, between 8:30am until 10:00am or possible later.

Attention Youth!
Derek Luptak will be attending a Seminary Class in the valley and all youth activities will be cancelled this week. He and Amanda will see you again on Sunday Nov. 11th for  the next Javacade.
Save the Date!
The Annual Grace Church International Christmas Dinner has been scheduled for Friday evening, December 7th, 2012. If you would like to be involved in the planning and preparations for it, please contact Marg Geiger or Debbie Allsop. Thank you!

FAITH With Action
Fall is in the air and winter clothing is needed. Check your closets for any unused coats, sweaters, scarves, hats and gloves that you might want to DONATE to needy families. Either drop items off at the church, or arrange for pick up of items by contacting Dan Parcell at 928-892-2157. 

F.W.A. also needs ‘turkeys’ to be distributed on Wed. Nov. 14th, one week before Thanksgiving Day. If you’d like to make a donation, you may write a check to Grace Church and earmark it “FWA-Turkeys.” Thank you!
  
HOME  GROUPS
We would love to see some new home groups formed. We know there are several members that have expressed interest in getting “plugged in.”  If you are interested in being a part of a new group, please sign up in the Narthex.

Water baptism

If you have never been baptized, or maybe you were baptized as an infant and would like to reaffirm your faith by experiencing a full immersion baptism, please consider signing up in the Narthex. We are planning a Water Baptism which would probably take place in December or January when the Show Low Aquatic Center reopens. Pastor Gary will have a meeting in advance to discuss and answer any questions related to  Baptism.
