Welcome to Grace House!

 Missions Opportunities

 It looks like the people of Grace House will have three different mission trip opportunities to experience Missions first hand in 2009. The details are still tentative but are taking shape:

Late Jan- Early Feb: Trip to Carriacou and Petite Martinque to help Pastor Happy in seeing the transformation of these beautiful places. Since our last trip, over 12% of Petite Martinque has come to know Christ. Awesome!

June: Tanzania with Global Missions Awareness. We have the opportunity to partner with Leif Hetland in what has become a true supernatural move of God's Spirit in Tanzania.

Late Spring 2009: Honduras to minister with Bobby Gibson in the mountains and orphanage.

Please pray that the project would come together and be a blessing to everyone.

UPDATES FOR GRACE HOUSE PEOPLE: October 27, 2008

Facility--Construction crews are working. We soon will be able to use the Lobby area of the Theater as well as a 30x100 Commons area that has been created adjacent to the actual theater sections. We will then begin working on developing a state of the art theater for Adults and Youth and a super-fun activity/learning center for children. Of course, this will involve some time, so be patient and continue to pray and build deeper relationships with one another. We are also excited about the future bookstore/sandwich shop/coffee shop/ice cream shop that will be a daily part of the Grace House Community.

Leadership--Your responses to those whom you desire to be your leaders was overwhelming, affirming, and very much unifying. For those of you who may not have been present at yesterday's service, you will be given an another opportunity this coming Sunday to share your heart about whom you trust to lead.

Giving--Thank you so much for your generous contributions to Grace House. We are grateful for what we have been able to give to people in need. Please know that all contributions are overseen by a trusted team of ladies and a very competent Accounting Firm which specializes in non-profit accounting and compliance.

 

Grace Gathering Invitation

We invite you to join us for our weekly Sunday morning "Grace Gathering" at the Lawrence Home (directions below). We have a great time fellowshipping with coffee and doughnuts, interacting and building relationships, worshipping, and being taught God's Word. We start at 9:30 a.m. Right now we meet outside and enjoy the cool morning breeze. We are heading toward a permanent facility soon!

Our Youth meet across the road at the Ownby's and the children have ministry and activity in our basement and back yard. It is a time of new beginnings and seeking direction for what Grace House will become. Again, we invite you to join us and certainly ask that you pray for us that we will be a blessing to the Kingdom.
Directions to the Lawrence's: Turn North off Hwy 72 onto County Rd 27 (this is across from The Home Connection and also right beside the yellow Service Master business). To orient you, this road is about 1 mile West (toward Florence) of the Shoal Creek Bridge. Once you turn onto Hwy 27, you will travel about 1/2 mile. We will be the second house on the right. House number 760. Turn right onto our gravel drive on come on and have a great time with us.




 God is at Work in Your Life!

We are followers of Jesus building our lives together in a very non-traditional and informal way. We value relationship. We seek the truth contained in the Bible. We acknowledge that we all still miss the mark but are cooperating with God as He works away at us in His workshop - His grace workshop that is fueled by His fiery love for us and bound by His determined care of us. He corrects us, directs us, and lovingly teaches us so that we will reflect Jesus and His love to others around the world.


It's fun!
It's different!
It's freedom!
It's grace giving!
It's relational!
It's informal!

 
Think of a person in whom grace abounds? Does Jesus come to mind? Think of a place where grace comes mind? Does the Church of Jesus come to mind? It should. His body in the world today should endeavor to reflect what filled his body when he walked the earth. This is what Grace House and our Grace Groups are all about!

We are both humbled and honored to be able once again  minister God's  Word to hurting hearts. It has been painful. It has been profitable. The fire that burns the stubble can also warm the heart. Please pray that God would bring together those of like heart and mind who desire to shower the shoals with the Grace of God.

Blessings,
Eddie and Mikki

Grace House is for people hungry for change who know that there is work to be done in their own lives and in their world. When God moved to touch our lives, He moved with grace. So should we as we touch one another's lives. Ephesians 2:9-10 lays out the Christian life for us in beautiful summary:

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
