The Lord's Day at Grace Bible Church - Welcome!

Today's Sermon, "Times of Distress"

was given by Elder Everett Sollars and taken from the book of Jonah.

If you've been through distressing times recently or perhaps you're going

through those times now, please take the time to listen to this message.

Simply go to http://www.gracebiblesouthgate.org/ and click on 'Recent Sermons'

You'll be grateful you did!

Many thanks from Kids for the Lord Leaders....

All of the children who are currently registered in our class now have

prayer partners. If you've not picked up your child's card, please

'TeamKID' ....

coming in early September to Grace Bible Church

'KID' stands for 'Kids in Discipleship' and will be held

each Wednesday from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Children in grades 1-6 will be invited to participate in exciting learning adventures, games, crafts, snacks and worship. We ask you to please be in prayer over the preparations and be looking for further announcements about this new ministry for children. And, we'll be looking for volunteers too ... if you'd like to help, please contact Lynn Bolton or the church office.

* Scripture reading in Worship Service
* Giving Announcements before the Worship Service
* Children's Workers for Wednesday evening for Sunday morning

Thoughts to ponder...
Put off the deeds of the sinful nature which destroy peace and harmony.
Galatians 5:19 & 20 "The acts of sinful nature are obvious: sexual immortality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions..."

Galatians 5:22 & 23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
