Welcoming new family members
Over the past two Sundays, we have been privileged to welcome eight new members into this family known as Grace & Truth. When someone steps forward after prayer and thoughtful consideration with a desire to become a committed part of our body, we see evidence of God’s work and give him much praise! We value membership highly because it signifies commitment to persevere in prayer, mutual encouragement, accountability, transparency, and love as we together pursue a deeper understanding of the gospel and increased outflow of it into our daily lives through the living Word and the Holy Spirit.
Each of these believers completed the application paperwork and follow-up discussion/s with one or both elders, then testified of God’s grace in their lives before the body at large and were individually affirmed by the congregation. Hearing people publicly share how God has reached into their lives bringing change by the power of the gospel is an awesome, God glorifying time to those of us who have known that same grace. These past two gatherings have been a gift of God’s goodness to our body. Jesus, thank you!
Beth and Jennifer spoke as part of our outdoor worship gathering on July 4th. Then on July 11th we heard from Elizabeth, Brian, JoeAnn, Barbara, Annie, & Nick. Welcome each of you!
