Last weekend at Grace Church was truly uplifting, filled with meaningful connections and divine inspiration. We are grateful for the messages we received and look forward to the upcoming outreach event.

Our weekend kicked off with a Men's Breakfast on Saturday morning, featuring the distinguished Dr. John Barrett as our special guest. At over 85 years old, Dr. Barrett shared insights from what he called “a fortunate life”, inspiring all attendees with his service to community, wisdom and experiences. His P.O.P.P.I. anagram left a great impression. Prayer, Opportunities, Plans, Perseverance, Integrity was a great strategy to live by.

The Sunday morning service was a vibrant gathering filled with passionate worship. The congregation received strong prophetic encouragement to live wholeheartedly for God and embrace Him as Savior. We were blessed with another guest speaker, Kevin Young, who captivated us with tales of his recent Holy Spirit led adventures in Afghanistan. Despite the dangers Kevin was able to make many good contacts for the Gospel.

Kevin also spoke about the upcoming "Love Thy Neighbour" outreach event, which is scheduled for November 30th at Town Beach. This event aims to break a world paddle-out record while serving as a powerful witness for Jesus in the surfing community. Kevin's dedication to these great endeavours is deeply rooted in the legacy of his late son, Zac. Zac reminded us that perfect love casts out all fear and encouraged us to love all people with the love of Jesus.

Please see the details in e-news of how you can contribute as a volunteer or financially to this special multi-church event.

I also want to thank the many helpers who made our welcome Lunch on Sunday very special for those who attended. Some 16 New People were invited and 9 were able to stay for a delicious lunch and introduction to who is Grace Church.

Thank You Grace Family for celebrating Jesus and Community well over the last weekend. We look forward to what God has for us in coming weeks.

God Bless you

Ps Greg and Amanda
