Welcome to our service today!

Grace is a very fitting name for

our congregation because we

love to experience God’s grace!

We are a warm and friendly

family who exist to exalt Jesus

Christ, evangelize the lost, and

edify believers. We have lots of

interesting and enriching things

to do and offer as a church. But

our priorities are to worship the

Lord Jesus Christ, to fellowship

with other believers, to grow to

be more like Jesus, to do

ministry, and to share the Good

News with those around us. I

encourage you to become a part

of our wonderful church.

We need YOU to help us fulfill

our responsibilities and you need

US to help YOU become who

God created YOU to be. I would

consider it a privilege to be your

pastor and I pray you will

consider joining our wonderful

church!

Pastor Tim McGehee

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH

First you must present yourself for membership during a worship service. Our Pastor will be at the front during the invitation to help you with your decision then you will encouraged to attend a membership 101 class. Secondly you must express your desire for membership through one of the follow-ing ways: 1. Profession of faith: If you have never made a public decision acknowledging that you have or are receiving Christ as your Savior, you will be given that opportunity. After you have made a public profession of faith, your baptism will be scheduled. 2) By statement of faith: If you have previously made a public decision acknowledging that you have received Christ as your Savior, we will be happy to receive you. It will however be necessary for you to be baptized at Grace if you have never been baptized by immersion or if you were baptized in a church which holds a different view of salvation, bap-tism or eternal security than Grace. 3) By letter: If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, we will contact that church to notify them of your decision to join Grace.

Thank You— The Attic Outlet would like to thank all those who have helped us show

God’s love to our surrounding communities this year. We have been blessed with food from Grace members and through local food drives, donations from every direction (including a 4 year old donating his toys to help another child for Christmas) and prayers to strengthen us when the world seemed to weigh more than we could carry. Our blessings were so abundant that we have officially paid our building loan in full! We could never name each hidden hero, but we have a Father from whom nothing is hidden. Thank you all and Merry Christmas!

Youth Project January 30 -31 Jackson - For all youth singers. Join several

Special Concert and Deacon Ordination - January 7 at 6:00 p.m. SoFree, an all

ladies vocal ensemble out of the University of Mobile, will be leading the worship.

SoFree sings a variety of music to target different audiences within churches, schools, and the community including a cappella pieces, contemporary Christian, and praise and worship. These students travel on a weekly basis to churches, schools and events in the Southeast states, attempting to reach as far as possible with the Gospel. There are 15 girls in this group. We need to provide housing for them for one night. If you can host some of these college girls please let the church office know. The service will include the deacon ordination of Lee Cole and Greg Waller. The children, youth and adults are all invited to this service. Please share the word with your friends!
