The following is excerpted from our time of Scripture reading at tonight’s worship service of Grace Church:
The Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, urges us to “devote [ourselves] to the public reading of Scripture” (1 Tim. 4:13, ESV).
At Grace Church, we don’t include the reading of Scripture in the order of service just to fill some time and space in our worship.
We don’t include it for the purpose of giving you a cute little anecdote, or something interesting to think about.
We include it so that it may overwhelm and transform your life.
We believe that the Word has infinite power and purpose when it goes forth.
It has power to save and to transform even the vilest sinner, the one that everyone else has given up on and forsaken. Read more »
Below are some photos from our outing today at The School of the Future on Parkside Avenue in West Philadelphia:
On November 14, Grace Church of Philly will be involved in helping to set up for an “energy summit” and panel discussion at the School of the Future, 4021 Parkside Avenue. This summit is being sponsored by PA state representative Vanessa Lowery Brown (see picture of flyer below).
Although the forum will begin at 9am, we have volunteered to be there at 730am to help set up for the forum. Following set up, we have been given permission to put up a display table for Grace Church to give away free ESV New Testaments and to promote our ministry to those in attendance.
Please consider volunteering to donate some of your time to this community outreach and ministry opportunity. If you are able to assist in this outreach, please note on the event wall what times you are able to serve. Although some may not be able to be there for the entire event, we appreciate those who are able to make it for even a short time.
May the Lord richly bless you,
The Leadership Team of Grace Church of Philly
