Persecution of church in India

Our missionary Stephan shared a sad story of persecution against a church about 4 hours from him. He plans to visit them soon. We must PRAY.

We need to remember to pray for our brethren. Christians are persecuted all over the world. We are especially accountable to remember the missionaries God has given us to partner with.

Our Worship Location
Sunday service at Grace Bible Church is held at the Riverview Inn downtown
Time: 10:30AM each Sunday

Announcements

Sunday morning at Grace Bible Church we will continue teaching the series on Stewardship: Becoming a Person God Can Trust. The Stewardship of Marriage will be the topic.

What does God say in His Word concerning the first institution He established for the wellbeing of the whole world? There is a divine “Law of Marriage and Family.” It is “two whole persons who are to be building life in each other and building a life together as God intended when He created man and woman.”

In this study we will discover the Seven Links of Oneness that will help husbands and wives, present and future, to be better stewards in marriage by “building” into each other as God intended.

Over 50% of all marriages in the USA end in divorce, including Christian marriages. The institution of marriage is under assault. Families, communities and nations are suffering from this attack. The Church is not reflecting the image of Christ to the world when this basic building block is weak and crumbling.

Don’t miss this vital message on “The Stewardship of Marriage.”

There will be plenty of conversation starters for dialog with your family and friends about the topic. Invite a friend, neighbor, or co-worker to join us for this important and relevant topic. Don’t miss out on the rest of the messages in this series, “Stewardship: Becoming A Person God Can Trust.”
