Teaching & Scripture Overview: This Sunday, Pastor James Byrd taught from Ephesians 1:15-23 & Matthew 11:3-5 in our current short series “The Kingdom of God.” Next week, Pastor Mark Krauss will continue the series.
Opportunities to Serve: The Grove has many opportunities for our members and regular attenders to “plug in” and serve. Examples include helping with setup and cleaning after church of the hospitality coffee bar, setting up communion in the sanctuary, reading the announcements at the end of the service, serving in Kids’ Ministry (must be a covenant member with a clear background check), being a part of the worship team or the audio/video team, setting up and tearing down for special events, etc. Please let Brianna (office@thegrovesp.com) know if you would like more information.
Updating Church Membership: As we prepare to update our church membership, please take a moment this week to read through the updated doctrine statement and membership covenant. These documents will be available in the lobby or you can contact our office for a copy. We are asking for all current members to resign a copy of the membership covenant.
The Grove Church Office: The office number is 828.520.1200, or you can reach us always by email at office@TheGroveSP.com.
Sunday Sermons are live on facebook and YouTube.
