ON SUNDAY - AUGUST 6

CURRENT SERIES: Strapped
Many of us feel strapped. Did you know, 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. There is a better way. In this series, Pastor Joe and Paul Bennett, a Biblical financial advisor, will help us see how God's plan cuts through the red tape of debt so we can experience grace and financial freedom. Join us each week in August for this practical and timely teaching.

UPCOMING EVENTS
DAYS FOR GIRLS
MON, AUG 14 // 6:30 PM // Room 268
This group gets together to serve others by creating reusable feminine hygiene kits that are sent around the world to women who may not have regular access to them. By creating reusable fabric pads, this gives girls and women DAYS back into their lives to go to school and work instead of staying home while on their period.
Whether you are an expert at sewing or have never touched a sewing machine, we have a spot for you to help! No RSVP needed, join us when we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

FALL SERIES - THE CHOSEN
NEW GROUP LEADERS
This fall, Pastor Joe will take us through a series on the popular TV show called The Chosen. This show is about the life of Jesus through the eyes of His disciples and it's life changing. We will focus on season 3, so if you haven't watched it yet, make this your summer show! To find the episodes, google 'The Chosen', it's available for free streaming.
We have a lot of new people at Grace and we need to make room for them. So we are looking for new small group leaders. If you are interested, connect with Pastor Monti. She can answer all your questions and tell you all about the training that is provided. Find her in the commons on Sunday or indicate your interest on the connect card.
