Mourning and Rejoicing
This Week at Grace
NewConnections with Our Neighbors
Several months ago I was approached by a neighbor who was considering starting a new “home-school co-op” on this side of town. Not technically a “co-op” but they plan to gather some home-schooling families which will regularly take some time to collaborate together on lessons, all they needed was a space to meet.
They started meeting in our building this past week and will be meeting throughout the school year on Wednesdays! I’m so excited to bless our neighbors with the space God has richly blessed us with. Please pray with me for these 9 students and their families as they learn and grow together.

Sunday Livestream
Gather with us this Sunday in-person or digitally at 10am! Digital gathering will be hosted on our homepage (ocalagrace.org) and on our Youtube page.
Zoom “After-Party” Call @ 11:00am on Sunday
Since moving to a live-stream format we want to ensure we’re allowing time and space for everyone to connect even if they are feeling distant. To facilitate this we’ll be hosting a Zoom call at 11:00am on Sundays for those who want to connect, but aren’t comfortable gathering in-person. Click the link below to join the call.

Equipping and Releasing Disciples (A story of pride)
Ed and his wife moved to Pheonix, Ariz. in 1994 and planted a church. He drew up a growth plan for the congregation to reach tens of thousands of people over the next 20 years. “It was all arrogance and pride at the time,” says Ed.”
