In May we celebrated the graduation of 32 of our seniors. Pastor Dennis Steeger recognized their accomplishments and shared their individual plans for the future. The Youth team led worship during the main service as well. Here is a short montage of footage from the graduation and worship.

As we begin the New Year God has put 4 scriptures on pastor Books’ heart to pray for the members of Grace.

This Wednesday he is inviting you to come out for this special time of prayer.

He will be praying:

Isaiah 54:17 for your protection
no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.

James 1:6-8 for your wisdom
But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

Deuteronomy 33:25 for your strength
The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.

Isaiah 41:10 for your assistance
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Please join us. Prayer starts at 7:00 and service starts at 7:30.

Listen to the message from 1-13-10.

Are you and your spouse speaking the same language?

What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the right principles, learn the right language, and soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love – and feeling truly loved in return.

GraceKids University Scholars or GKU was started in 2009 to encourage and reward kids as they strive for excellence in Christian education. We ask all of our K-5th graders to master 10 objectives by the end of their 5th grade year.  These objectives include reading through a children’s Bible, and reciting scripture passages such as Ps. 23 and The Lord’s Prayer.

The 5 kids who completed all 10 objectives received an engraved medal recognizing their commitment to the GKU program. The graduates this year were Evan, Alyssa, Laide, Kathryn and Maddison.

Soon we will unveil our GraceKids “Walk of Fame” where each medalist will have a star with their name on it located on a tile in the kids foyer.  If a child enters GraceKids as a kindergartener, he or she will have 6 years to complete the objectives.  Because some kids can master these goals long before 5th grade graduation, we are going to announce our Masters program with an additional set of objectives for those wanting an extra challenge. At GraceKids we recognize that kids excel and are rewarded in academics, athletics, music, and dance—so why not motivate kids to hide God’s Word in their heart, too!

Our Key Note speaker was Mrs.Chrissy Broeske. Mrs. Broeske was the Mrs. Dallas County International 2012 winner and serves as the Pageant Director for the Building Inner Beauty Pageant. Her message was one of hope and the importance of helping women and girls realize that they are precious in the sight of our Heavenly Father.

137 guests attended the luncheon and they enjoyed a catered meal. Along with the meal they received a number of donated gifts / prizes, 25lbs of food from Life Message, and other items including a free family portrait provided by Sunflower Photography to make their Mother’s Day extra special.

We were honored to have about 15 single moms and their kids from The Family Place, a domestic violence shelter located in Dallas, who otherwise would not have had a Mother’s Day. One mom in particular said, “This was the first Mother’s Day she had ever had,” even though her kids were between 8-10. The joy that filled the room was overwhelming.

Many thanks to Pastor and Geni Brooks, Stacie Martin, founder of Single Parent Advocate, Mrs. Chrissy Broeske, Sunflower Photography, Life Message, and the many other partners and volunteers who helped make this day truly spectacular.

Thanks to all those who prayed, donated clothes, and volunteered to make this event a HUGE success!

Everyone is invited to join us this Wednesday, April 25th for our NEW Mid-Week Service time of 6:30p.m.

This will now be a 1 Hour power-packed service with prayer, worship, and the Word to give you a spiritual boost in your week.
