Man's way leads to a hopeless end ...
Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday. It is the 37th anniversary of the horrendous and failed decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 22, 1973, in which women were legally allowed to have a child within them aborted.
We at Grace Bible Church believe that life is a first principle. We believe that God is the Author of life, and that to diminish human life, or to take it randomly, is a repudiation of His gift.
As a result of this conviction, we seek to diminish the number of abortions in the U.S.A., and in the world at large, by supporting pro-life political candidates, by supporting pro-life pregnancy agencies and crisis pregnancy centers, and by praying for the end of abortion.
We recognize that among the victims of abortion are women who allowed an abortion in their life, and deeply regret it. These dear women are to be loved, supported, and prayed for.

Opportunities for Ministry
Are you a teacher, looking for an opportunity to work with kids? Or, would you rather someone else take the lead, while you work as an assistant? Do you play an instrument? Can you sing? If any of these opportunities appeals to you, we may have a place of service for you here at G.B.C. Please let us know.

Annual Business Meeting
This year's meeting on February 14 will, once again, include a meal. The church will be providing the main dish of broasted chicken and also the beverages. We are asking that each family bring a generous portion (enough to feed 8-10) of your choice of 2 of the following sides: Pasta, Potato, Vegetable or Dessert. If you have any questions, please see Jacque or Everett Sollars.
