We are to cultivate opportunities to teach others all that our Lord has commanded—to pass on the gospel witness of the apostles. Do we have confidence that we can do it? Jesus thought so, or He would not have gathered us together and put is here where we are. He would not have called us as he has.

“Thriving Citizens” as highlighted
by Pastor Phil’s message, “How being fully invested in
our true heavenly citizenship, radically alters
our lives in the weary world of worry.”
Cynthia Michael, Aaron Mood and Composer Steven Aldredge
In the fall of 2021 Grace’s Chancel Choir commissioned a new choral work in honor of
Cynthia Michael’s tenth anniversary as Grace Director. Cynthia chose the verse John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches,” as the focus of the piece. Composer Steven Aldredge was contacted to compose the work.
Throughout the summer the Chancel Choir met to prepare the piece, and on August 7th, with Steve in attendance, they premiered, “The Vine,” and presented a copy to Cynthia after worship.
The MUM’s Food Pantry In West Carrollton has requested help from us to supply personal items for the pantry ministry. We will be collecting items such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, and lotion. The collection will be ongoing through-out the summer and will be picked up by mid-August. The collection box is located at the entrance to the side parking lot.
Lectio Divina Each Sunday Morning … But What Is it?
It is what we are doing in the Adult Sunday School class this Summer! Lectio Divina is Latin for “sacred reading.” It is a method of contemplative scripture reading.
This summer the Adult Sunday School class is meeting for just 15 minutes each Sunday from 9:45 to 10:00 a.m. Each week, we will listen to a short passage from Philippians four times with brief periods of (mostly) silent prayer and reflection on the text.
