INVITATIONS, EVENTS & INFO



Solo Women's Fellowship is a group at Grace that is trying to get a fresh start.  This group is focused on helping single women connect for fellowship, support, and ministering to one another.  'Single' is defined as a current stage of life that is either demographically single (never married, not currently married, separated, or widowed) or spiritually single (married, but attending GCC without your husband).  It is open to women age 18 and up, including members or regular attenders.  
Robin Miller will be hosting a get-to-know-one-another backyard event on Saturday, July 26th at 7pm.  If you would like to attend, join the Single Women's Fellowship group on the Church Center app for the address and to ask any Qs.  You'll find it under the Leisure Time Groups.

James Kinch is hitchhiking across the country
.
Dear Church Family,

For the second time, I will be hitchhiking across the country, and will be journaling my experiences on my new Substack page: jameskinch.substack.com

I plan to hit the road on Wednesday, July 16th, and expect to be gone for 3 months.

Whether or not you read along at the Substack page, please pray for me as I'm out there on the road. Specifically, pray for my safety, and that I would also have good opportunities to connect with people in significant ways, whether believers or unbelievers. Also, pray that I'd be able to regularly attend good churches. That can be tricky. Actually, I first time I visited Grace was when I hitchhiked through the area to visit my Aunt Margaret & Uncle Andy Smith!

I'm heading up to New England first, then will hitch out west, eventually to California. If you have anyone (including churches) to connect me with, feel free to text me: (561) 281-1507
