Grace Kids
Last week, we learned that Paul was under house arrest in Rome. Even though Paul had not done anything wrong, God used Paul’s imprisonment to get him to Rome so he could share the gospel there. Before Paul went to Rome, he had traveled on three different missionary journeys. On one of these journeys, he went to the city of Thessalonica. Paul preached the gospel and helped start a church. This Sunday, we will read a part of a letter Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica as he helped them know we are here to make much of Jesus.
Christians have a special purpose to spread the good news of Jesus and to live in a way that honors him. We live holy lives, loving one another and finding joy in Jesus as we remember God’s promise to one day return and make all things right.
Please pray for our kids to find purpose and hope in Jesus by putting their trust in him as Savior and Lord. Ask the Lord to help those who believe by faith to live in a way that brings honor to his name.
Weekday Nursery Volunteers Needed
Workers are needed on Tuesday and/or Thursday mornings this Fall to care for our little ones. There are specific times for each morning. Contact Janie to get more details at: janie.walker@gracebaptist.org

AWANA 2024-25
Registration is OPEN for both volunteers and kids!
The AWANA curriculum helps kids ages 3 through 12th grade grow with God from small to tall. We use it as a tool to disciple children with the hope that they would belong to, believe in, and become lifelong followers of Jesus. Each week children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, learning God’s word through large-group Bible teaching, and memorizing Bible verses in a small-group setting. Come join us from September 2024 – May 2025 on Wednesday nights!
