Thanksgiving Church Family Meal

Thursday, November 26, 1-3PM

All members are encouraged to attend a  member’s meeting next Sunday, October 18 after worship.  

1. Pastor is seeking direction from our Heavenly Father regarding whether to pursue remedies for the attacks on our Social Media presence.
2. Pastor also needs to decide how much of the grounds work can be done by church members and how much we will need to have the contractor do. It is important that the people who plan to help are in attendance.

Please make these two items a matter of prayer this week, then make every effort to attend this meeting.

Stagecoach Days is a great opportunity for evangelism, prayer, and getting Grace Maricopa out there for others to see. We will be handing out free waters and engaging with the community.

This is an important meeting for anyone who has signed up or is still considering signing up!

Call to Worship: Psalms 54:1-3 "O God, save me by Your name, And render justice to me by Your might. ² O God, hear my prayer; Give ear to the words of my mouth. ³ For strangers have risen against me And ruthless men have sought my life;
They have not set God before them.

Grace Maricopa is blessed to have 3 wonderful pastors. October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Let's show our pastors how much we appreciate them by 1) Giving a word of encouragement. 2) Praying for them, then letting them know. 3) Supporting their families. 4) Loving them and acting on that love.

The City of Maricopa has approved the plans for our Landscaping and Parking Lot.

Praise God!!

Pastor Dan will make an agreement with the General Contractor, secure a Bond, and the Permits will then be issued. 

Once these things are done, we will get a start date from the Contractor.

The more work we can do for ourselves, the less we will need to pay the Contractor to do, so it is time to go to work!
