The sermon was wonderful, the message potent, and the choir was a great start to the fall season. Very grateful to the pastoral staff and elders vision for this change.<BR/><BR/>Need to share something. A friend/co-worker (McBryde Family) and his family have been visiting Grace over several weeks. This dear friend is exploring Christianity and is continuing to engage with Grace Church. I've had the pleasure to witness warmth and real reception from many Grace families and individuals. A big thanks to Grace Church for this welcome to newcomers. <BR/><BR/>Importantly, my friend (TJ) mentioned that the pastors message was "speaking to him". While at first this comment seemed all too common, it was far more significant. A self professed "on the fence with Christianity" type engaging and identifying with the significance of the Gospel. I witnessed happiness, enthusiasm, and a genuine relief in TJ following our worship. <BR/><BR/>The Gospel is powerful, inviting, and and quite frankly a huge relief for us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880332.post-1127784751638177412005-09-26T18:32:00.000-07:002005-09-26T18:32:00.000-07:00Looks to me like we've got some blog spammers on t...Looks to me like we've got some blog spammers on the site. I thought the move to three services was well executed. I enjoyed going to "big church" before going to college group yesterday. <BR/><BR/>I was totally stoked that we had so many people both in College group and at the park afterwards. All three messages given yesterday--yours at second service, Pastor Steve's at third service, and both of you in the park--were great starts to a great year ahead. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
