News and Family Matters Hurricane Relief Work and Donations
940-692-4251
Grace Church Wichita Falls
Today we’re continuing our study of the Gospel of John and its unique perspective on the person and character of Jesus Christ. Together we’ll develop a better understanding of how Jesus came to give us eternal life—and how to experience that life abundantly.
A work team from our college ministry, led by Curtis Lindsey, traveled to southeast Texas on Thursday and is scheduled to return this afternoon. They brought supplies and worked together in storm-damaged areas. Please pray for their safety as they travel. Samaritan’s Purse is also working with their existing network of churches in hurricane-affected areas, and we encourage you to directly support their efforts in both Houston and Florida. You can learn more or give online at samaritanspurse.org or by mail at P.O. Box 3000, Boone, NC, 28607. Mailed donations should be marked for the “Hurricane Relief Fund.” Family Matters Congratulations to Kristen and Jason Byas on the birth of their daughter Grace Rowan. Please pray for Judy and Roy Keddy as they grieve the passing of his mother.
