The Care Department is seeking godly men from the Grace Family who would like to volunteer for a 4-hour shift in the morning or afternoon during business hours.

Anyone interested can email counseling@gracebaptist.org or call the church office to speak to Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.HOME TEAM
Do you have special carpentry or repair skills and are willing to join our Home Team Ministry? Home Team provides free to low-cost maintenance repairs for our widows, senior members, and single moms. If interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
This Sunday, we begin a unit titled “Peter’s Ministry.” Over the next few weeks, our lessons will be taught from Acts Chapters 2-5. The apostle Peter’s life was one of Scripture’s greatest examples of discipleship. Though he had personally journeyed for three years alongside the Savior, Peter struggled with fear, hesitancy, and uncertainty. He was the man who sank from doubt while walking on water and denied Jesus’ lordship not once, but three times. However, the Peter we find in Acts 2 seems to have overcome these stumbling blocks to his faith. But how? It was through the power of the Holy Spirit at work in his life, enabling and encouraging him to do the Lord’s will.
Peter’s sermon in Acts 2 shows the Holy Spirit’s power to save and change those who trust in Jesus. The kids will be taught this Sunday that God used Peter to preach about Jesus to the crowd so that thousands of others would believe and be changed as well. All who believe in Jesus are changed and will never be the same.
Please pray for our parents and Bible teachers to lead a life of faithfulness and fruitfulness which allows our kids to see and experience the power of the Holy Spirit at work. Pray for our kids to follow suit as the Spirit leads and that by faith surrender their lives to the Lord.
Mark your calendars:
Summer Adventure will be June 24-28, 2024
Volunteer registration begins April 1, 2024
