We are glad that the Lord has brought you this morning to worship with us. May He richly bless you, as we focus our hearts and minds on His grace and truth.

If this is your first time at Grace, we extend to you and your family a warm welcome! After our service we have a lively Bible Study Hour with many class offerings. Please stop by our Welcome Center in the foyer and we will help you find a class right for you and your children.

We have a Visitor’s Coffee after our morning service in the Connections Room to allow us to get to know you better and share in fellowship and answer any questions you may have. We’d love to meet you and give you a free loaf of homemade bread!

There are many ministries and opportunities which occur on a weekly basis at Grace – many are listed in our bulletin. There is also a good bit of infor-mation on our website ( www.solagrace.org). As you seek God’s direction, our hope is that He will direct your steps as you seek ways to serve Him.

Thank you for coming – may the Lord’s face shine upon you!
