A few ways to help our neighbors
Helping neighbors
COVID has put strain on all of us in a number of different ways. Belleview High School has reached out to ask if we can help them bear some of their burden: they need reusable cloth masks. We have a great opportunity to help folks in our community navigate the difficulties we’re facing together. Please reply to office@ocalagrace.org and let me know if you’d like to make or purchase some masks and be a model of Jesus in our public schools.
Our church building could also use some of your attention. Please consider sharing some of your time to help keep up our yard. I’ll be happy to train anyone on how to use the mower and/or weed eater so that we can work together to take care of the gifts God has blessed us with (and make them ready to share with our neighbors).
Thanks so much!
Pastor Michael
TL;DR
-
Consider making or purchasing reusable cloth masks to donate to Belleview High School.
-
Consider donating some time and energy to take care of the lawns at the church building.
This Week
Sunday LIVE, In-person or online
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.
Financial Reports
You generously contribute financially to the work God is doing in Grace Church. We want to be transparent about how we are doing and so publish a report every month available on our website.

Fellowship News
ASSIST Bootcamp
Last week I teamed up with our sister churches in Sebring and Lakeland for a two-day intensive “bootcamp” hosted by ASSIST Church Expansion. We collaborated to create frameworks for a number of projects with the goal of helping the Sebring Church “refresh” it’s ministry. This investment will be reciprocated next year as the team will turn their focus on helping our congregation here in Ocala. Please pray for the team (Pastor Matt Wheelock, Pastor Ben Russell, Pastor Orrin Witt and Patrick Fox) as we work together to be more purposeful in fulfilling our mission to invite our neighbors to meet and follow Jesus.
