Grace Leadership / Grace Groups
Grace Leaders - Be praying for wisdom, strength, and filling of the Holy Spirit for our Elders, Deacons, Grace Group Leaders, and other Ministry Leaders. Pray they would abide in Christ more deeply and from that, see abiding fruit in ministry.
Join a Grace Group
Grace Groups provide the primary means of support on an ongoing basis to those in the Grace family. Now is a great time to join one as many are starting up for the Fall. If there is not one that fits your schedule, let us know and we will look for ways to accommodate you. Contact Pastor Aaron to visit one today!
Pray for Our Elders
- Pray for the Elders as they seek to lead and shepherd Grace Church.
- Pray as they seek ways to support the growth God is giving in our congregation while expanding ministry to those with disabilities as well as seeking to care for those providing foster care and adoption.
- Pray for them as they consider several important issues, including potential future church planing efforts.
- Praise God for the ways He has provided for Grace financially, pray for continued provision and for wisdom in how to prioritize the use of the funds for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
- Praise for those God is raising up who are considering serving as Elders in the coming year. Pray for the ongoing training program and for discernment as to the timing for each man to serve.
- Pray for strength and endurance for each Elder to run the race, and an ability to fix our eyes on Christ, abiding in Him and pointing others to Him alone.
Pray for Our Deacons
- Pray for insight and compassion as they consider the needs that are brought to them, both financial and physical.
- Pray for protection and strength as they work together to meet the needs of the congregation and community.
- Pray for God to raise up additional men and women to serve as Deacons.
- Pray for strength and endurance for each Deacon to run the race, and an ability to fix our eyes on Christ, abiding in Him and serving Him alone.
** If you or someone you know needs help, whether it is financial help, a need
for transportation, a need for something to be done on a property or car,
help with a job search, or navigating government programs, reach out to one of
the Deacons **
Pray for Grace Group Leaders and Hosts
- Pray that each Grace Group would be a place where God enables each person to use their gifts, passions, and experiences to minister to and encourage others, and where each person would be well cared for.
- Pray for the hosts that they would be able to provide a safe and comfortable environment each week, and that God would give strength and peace to them as they prepare a place week after week.
- Pray for the leaders that they would be effective facilitators of discussion, be able to bring Biblical perspective, and be able to mobilize the group to be on mission together for Christ's kingdom.
- Pray for our visitation team as they seek to care for those physically unable to be a part of regular worship and/or Grace Group.
- Pray for strength and endurance for each Grace Group Leader to run the race, and an ability to fix our eyes on Christ, abiding in Him and caring for other in His strength alone.
