CURRENT SERIES:
Welcome to Grace Fellowship, At The Movies! A series where Pastor Joe uses clips from blockbuster movies to teach powerful spiritual truths. Ever experienced the power of a promise? A broken promise can be devastating, but a promise kept can heal your soul. This week, Pastor Joe will teach the power of a promise through the movie, 'Guy Ritchie's: The Covenant'. If you are watching ahead, you may want to watch it through VidAngel.com to avoid some of the language in the film. See you Sunday as we conclude At The Movies!
Pastor Joe will also give a 5-minute quarterly update on the state of the church before the message and share some exciting news as we head into the fall. Join us as we help everyone experience grace!
