GRACE CARE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
GRACE CHAPLAIN MINISTRY
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. This valuable ministry provides support to our Pastors of the Week by answering calls or conducting informal meetings with those who call or walk-in in search of support, biblical guidance, and prayer as they share their current life struggles. 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 past week, we learned that people rejected Jesus. Their hearts chose not to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. In this Sunday’s study of John 11-12, the kids will be taught that Jesus showcased his power over death again, even though it meant the religious leaders would become even angrier at him. Jesus always has a purpose for what he does, and we can trust he always has our best interest in mind.
Pray for our kids to trust and believe in Jesus’ power to give them new life.
AWANA 2023-24
Registration Is Now OPEN!
AWANA starts in September! Space is limited, so register NOW! The Awana curriculum helps kids from age 3 through 12th grade grow with God from small to tall.
