Hi Church,
I love that when we gather, everyone plays a part and the Holy Spirit stitches it all together in a cohesive and beautiful garment of praise. That’s how I felt on Sunday. There were many different interactions but a continuous message of “Look what the Lord has done and what He can do in you”.
A couple of firsts worth noting Amanda Thomas did her first service leading and Mandy Dennison led communion for the first time at Grace. Both ladies obviously sort the Lord for their ministry amongst us and it was very uplifting. Jane Wright taught us a new song and we were all believing for breakthrough and miracles by the time we learnt it. Ross Nancarrow shared about all the exciting news in missions and daughter rescues in Nepal.
Kerry Medway’s message titled “Thorn in My Flesh”, detailing the inspirational life of Samantha Patrick who died from breast cancer was challenging and comforting. We had many visitors who came, some previous members of Grace included. I know many people were encouraged by the message, which gave hope that no matter what our circumstances are, all things are possible in God’s strength when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
As I said last week there are some exciting guest speakers coming with missionaries Kent and Ruth Hodge and revivalist Wayne and Jenny Williamson, over the next three weeks, so you won’t want to miss a beat.
God bless you all
Greg and Amanda
