"Behind this podium
Which was soon to be tossed,
Stands a man of God
With a heart for the lost.
Like Jesus, it has been
Resurrected to life,
So proclaim the gospel
And win souls to Christ!
When you are preparing a sermon
or just enjoying the Word,
We'll give thanks you were called
To shepherd this herd."
Your Grace Bible Church Family
We are indeed thankful that you are our Pastor.

Special Christmas Offering
This year the annual Christmas Outreach here at Grace Bible Church is targeting helping three of our missionaries: Chris Hardy of Relational Life Ministries; Dan and Laurie Fuller of New Tribes Mission and Daryl Ounanian of Christian Urban Outreach. The World Outreach Committee and the church elders have scheduled a Free Will Offering on behalf of these three missionaries for Sunday, December 5. Each of them have been tireless workers for Christ in their respective mission fields for many years and have been experiencing challenges in meeting their finances. Please be in prayer for this special offering.

"I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without, and you will be happy."

Kids for the LordWe are still in need of several volunteers to sign up for our prayer partners program. If you can pray, then you are qualified and we NEED you! The purpose is to have someone, other than parents and grandparents (because we assume you are already praying for your child) praying for each of our kids in the class. All that is required is a willing heart to pray regularly for the child you will be given and to give them an occasional card
or small gift letting them know that you are praying for them. I cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure they receive a physical token as a reminder of your prayers for them. If you would like to volunteer to be a part of this program, PLEASE sign up as soon as possible. We would like to assign all children as soon as possible. Let's show our kids how important we KNOW prayer to be!
Thank you,
Sandy McGlassion
Sermon by Pastor Bill Connell
Sermon by Pastor Bill Connell
"A Little Good News, Part 2"
from Selected Scriptures
********************
The Church
John MacArthur recently wrote these words about the Church: "Whatever misrepresentations there are in this world about the church, and whatever weaknesses exist within the true body, that doesn't diminish the Savior's commitment to His bride, nor does it derail His promises. There is no Plan B and there are no substitutes.
"By God's design, the church is the center of every believer's spiritual life. It is where we study, feed, grow, train, correct, comfort, partake in the ordinances, and minister to one-another. The church was given for our protection, instruction, discipline, and equipping. It is a lighthouse, greenhouse, hospital, classroom, and crucible. It is not an optional path among many, nor is it merely an aid to our spiritual life; it is central."
This is very much the view of Grace Bible Church, as well.
