If you’re looking to get plugged in or play a bigger part in the church, our small groups are the place to start. We’re all about relationships. While each group is unique, you can always expect there to be care, counseling, prayer, and lots of fun. It’s a safe place to open up and get to know others. We invite you to visit as many groups as you need in order to find the one that fits you best.
The Pastoral Team has nominated Bob Gnewuch and Zac Davis for diaconate ministry. These men love our church and have faithfully served us for years. We’re blessed to have them, and we believe they are qualified for this ministry.
This is where you come in. Appointing deacons involves the pastors and the church. We want your feedback regarding the nomination of these men. If you’re a church member, click the button below, fill out the form, and help us out. You’ll find all the details there.
If you’re a member or consider us your home church, plan to stay with us for about an hour after the service. Pack a lunch or partake in our famous Buck-O-Slice Pizza. We’ve got some important updates you don’t want to miss.
It’s an exciting time to be in the Grove. We’ve done a lot in the past month. From the ten commandments to the tabernacle, we’ve been following the Israelites after their escape from Egypt. The Israelites were a sinful people that needed saving. This has given us lots of opportunities to talk to our kids about Jesus—and that’s an opportunity we don’t want to miss! To that end, we’ve been sure to include plenty of talking points in our weekly newsletters. Be sure and check them out!
As the holiday season approaches this month, we’ve got even more fun stuff planned. Thanksgiving and Christmas give us a unique time to teach our kids and enjoy some special holiday events. For instance, here’s a great family devotional for thanksgiving. As usual, we’ll also have our monthly memory verse challenge. You can find the verses here.
It’s a joy to be with your kids each week. We look forward to another fun month in the Grove!
Jesus died for us in order that we might glorify God for his mercy (Romans 15:8-9). This Sunday, that’s exactly what we are going to do. Come ready to sing this song and marvel at God’s mercy.
Verse 1
Jesus, Your mercy is all my plea
I have no defense, my guilt runs too deep
The best of my works pierced Your hands and Your feet
Jesus, Your mercy is all my plea
Verse 2
Jesus, Your mercy is all my boast
The goodness I claim, the grounds of my hope
Whatever I lack it’s still what I need most
Jesus, Your mercy is all my boast
Chorus
Praise the King who bore my sin
Took my place when I stood condemned
Oh how good You’ve always been to me
I will sing of Your mercy
Verse 3
Jesus, Your mercy is all my rest
When fears weigh me down and enemies press
A comfort I cling to in life and in death
Jesus Your mercy is all my rest
Verse 4
Jesus, your mercy is all my joy
Forever I’ll lift my heart and my voice
To sing of a treasure no pow’r can destroy
Jesus, your mercy is all my joy
We’re all prone to wonder from God’s love. How do we correct this tendency? We must abide in God’s love. Pastor Dustin preaches from John 15:9 and encourages us to remain in this love. Only here do we know and experience the fullness of God.
Due to the rain, we will NOT be at the park this evening. But don’t worry. We’ve already rescheduled. Plan to meet us next Thursday evening at 6:30pm. We’ll see you and the whole family then.
