Serve We are now meeting together in 3 services (8:45, 10 & 11:15AM) in the building each Sunday morning. In order for this plan to work, we need people to come forward to serve. The turn around time between services is short but we still need to do a quick cleanup. If you are able to invest 5 minutes following 1st or 2nd service to help disinfect, please contact Pastor Serenity.
We also need many more people to lead online small groups. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know HERE.

Growth Groups We’ve prepared a discipleship guide that goes with the Sunday morning sermons, designed to help us dig deeper into the Word and our walk with Jesus, in community with others. And this year we’re encouraging TWO different ways to engage during our "Grown-Up Faith” series. For those comfortable meeting in-person, you’ll be able to connect with a Growth Group at the church building (group signups here). OR, for those continuing to engage online, we’re inviting you to consider hosting a Watch Group at home!
The watch group could be as informal as you and a few friends or family members getting together on Sunday to worship, through the online service. Then, take some time afterward to go through the discipleship guide together, with some real, intentional heart talk about the areas of faith and life addressed in that week’s message.
We also want to challenge you to take this a step further! Think through your circle of influence. Who are some people around you—maybe neighbors or coworkers or acquaintances—who might be receptive to the idea of meeting at your place to tackle some hard questions about Christianity? Who can you invite to join you for a Watch Group, who might never step foot in a church building under normal circumstances? With so many questions out there right now, maybe this is the perfect time to invite them to consider the things of God!
If you’re interested in possibly hosting a Watch Group, we’d love to connect with you to talk through what that might look like and help equip you to gather at home. Contact the Community Life team for more info.

Hope As the world reels from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are called to be people of hope. In this vein, GracePoint is supporting Global Partner's COVID-19 GLOBAL RESPONSE FUND. Through Global Partners the Wesleyan Church is active in 102 countries globally. In all of these contexts, we are deeply committed to serving vulnerable populations in the name of Christ.
When you give to the COVID-19 Global Response Fund, you are actively: partnering with outreach projects initiated by global churches; providing assistance for salaries of pastors who are left with little income as their area is impacted and church giving declines; and, placing funds at the discretion of the local leaders to serve impacted people in their congregations. GracePoint has, so far, contributed $2,000 toward this relief effort and we want to invite you individually to be part of it as well.
You can give directly to the COVID-19 Global Response Fund HERE, or directly toward our missionaries HERE (select designation Missions Global Outreach).
