Catching Fish in the Fallout (aka. the lower level) with Anthony Ceder
Jesus once told Peter, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people" (Matthew 4:19). We will spend some time discussing the importance of evangelism. If you are interested in connecting with others while learning more about how you might reach others for Christ, this three week course is for you!
Prayer
Praying Together, 9:30-10am, in the Fallout (aka. the lower level)
Join the Prayer Ministry and intercede for the church, her ministries and the day's worship service. Each Sunday we hear from a ministry or about a topic. Lift up the next generation as we pray for students, families or young adults. Seek justice and mercy as we pray for outreach, service and missions. Support our leaders and congregation through seasons, decisions and formation.
We would also love to find a place to plug you in as a volunteer during the 9:30am Common Ground hour. If you are interested in helping out with one of our ministries, please contact Lindsay Waymire at lindsay.waymire@gracecommons.org.
