All Masks Service
Sundays @ 8:45AM Great Room Many of you have said that, while you appreciate being able to be part of the Sunday morning services online, you miss being physically present with others participating in corporate worship. You miss the mutual encouragement and opportunities for spontaneous relationship. We hear you! Those are crucial elements of being part of the body of Christ! We are excited, therefore, to be able to offer this All Masks option each Sunday, during the first hour—to assure that it is as clean as possible. We hope this will be a blessing to you! |

Bring all donations to the donation box in the KidsPoint or Point FourFive room. |
THE LION PROJECT This fall, KidsPoint is learning all about the Bible. We think the Bible is the most important book in the world, and each kid at KidsPoint can have a free Bible if they need one. But we don’t want to stop there; we want to make sure kids around the world get a Bible, too.
So, we are teaming up with The Lion Project to send audio Bibles, stored inside a stuffed lion, to kids who are refugees. These kids don’t always know how to read, so they can listen to the Bible in their own language and also be comforted by a cuddly stuffed lion. We want to raise money to send 20 lions to kids in refugee camps. KidsPoint and Point FourFive are competing to see who can send the most Bibles! Each lion costs $65 to purchase and send. And the great news? We have matching funds, so for every Lion you send, the matching money will send another lion! |
Opportunities to Serve
GracePointers will be delivering Meals on Wheels November 23-December 4. If you would like to bless area residents who are homebound you can learn more about this opportunity to serve HERE.
We are meeting in the building for 3 services (8:45, 10 & 11:15AM) each Sunday morning. 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 would also like to offer more online small groups. If you would be interested in leading a group, 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).
