Guest Speaker - David Liauw -October 26: We are excited to host David Liauw from King's Park International Church in Durham, NC. David grew up in four countries as a missionary kid in the Every Nation family of churches and ministries. He encountered the Gospel early on, and his faith was deeply shaped by the courageous believers he met in persecuted nations.
He completed his undergraduate studies from UNC Chapel Hill and a masters from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. David serves as the director over Every Nation Campus ministries at UNC, Duke and North Carolina Central and also serves on the teaching team at King’s Park International Church. David is married to Betsabé, and they are proud parents of their one and an half year old son, Nathan.
Multiethnic Conversations - October 26-Nov 23: We believe that God has called us to embrace diversity in a genuine way, based on the teachings of the Gospel. To achieve this, we are offering a series of 5 weekly sessions based on the book Multiethnic Conversations by Mark DeYmaz and Oneya Fennell Okuwobi. This workbook serves as a practical guide to help us grow as a more diverse church. The group will meet at Grace on Sunday mornings at 11:30 in Room 201. We have limited spots available for 12 participants.
Before you begin the sessions at Grace, please purchase an e-book or physical copy of the book from Amazon or your preferred bookseller. Alternatively, we have a few copies available at Grace for a suggested donation of $20. To prepare for the first session, please read and complete pages 11-35, titled "Week One," in the book.
We ask everyone who calls Grace home to participate in this study at least once. Each time you attend the series of sessions, you will hear new stories and perspectives from participants in the class. We look forward to taking this journey with you! Register HERE
New Life Class - October 26 - Nov 16: Class to help kids grow in their understanding of a life with God. The class covers Grace's Gospel framework and utilizes several fun experiences to help kids develop a better grasp on God and His movement toward them. The class can be taken once kids hit 2nd grade through 5th grade. Older siblings can join in and kids need a mentor to take the class. It is a requirement for any child under 5th grade who wants to be baptized. Register HERE.
Prayer Walk Sunday - November 2: Meet us in the sanctuary for worship at 10am only, then we will head out in groups for walks through our community and college campuses. Each group will have prayer leaders to guide us through specific prayer prompts as we walk. Route lengths vary between 1 mile to 1.5 miles. Some routes will require a short drive to a nearby location. You may choose your route on that morning. A 1-mile Kid Loop and playground time is available for families with young kids. We will also have guided prayer time at Grace for people who would like to remain at Grace to pray.
A hot dog lunch will be provided on the front lawn after the walk. Please bring a bag lunch if you need other accommodations.
