Grounded: Finding Peace in an Anxious World - September 7 - October 19: Our first annual Churchwide Campaign begins September 7. we will host a 41-day push to focus our people on being “grounded” in chaotic times. We will look at six areas of everyday life and consider how being grounded in God would lead to the experience of peace. The areas include our thought life, relationships, work, money, the divisive culture, and the future. The campaign will culminate in a celebration with baptisms on October 19.

We want to see everyone at Grace in a FAMILY group! When you join a group, you will have access to “Grounded” t-shirts, printed devotionals and scripture cards. There will be college groups, men-only, women-only and coed groups as well. Youth and kids will also participate with their own contextualized “Grounded” study. Join a group at Groups (College & Adult).

GraceKids Promotion Sunday - September 7: Children from 3ys old through 5th grade will transition to their new age-appropriate classrooms. This annual event marks the next step in their learning and growth within our church community. Children will be welcomed into their new classes by their teachers and leaders. We encourage families to attend this Sunday and check your child's name tag and signs in the hall to find their new rooms. We look forward to seeing you there.

We have an AMAZING speaker for you this year, our good friend Pearce Landry, who has been intentionally making disciples in his life and workplace for many years. Pearce has also served for years here in Greensboro with SEARCH ministries. He will have a lot of practical wisdom to share.

In order to keep costs down and to see if more guys can come for a shorter weekend, this year we are staying in town and meeting at Grace. We will still have great food, excellent worship, small groups where you can connect with other men on the retreat, and we will have a LOT of fun growing together. The cost is $50 per person, and if you need help covering that, please let Marshall know. REGISTER HERE.
