It will be interesting to see what the Spirit has to say as we look at families and the ways we function (or dysfunction). Maybe it is not about “better parenting”. Maybe it is not about better “functioning”. Maybe this verse is not about predestination. Hmmmmm… Let the conversation begin.
Breakfast Club 9a.m… Donuts, Coffee and Conversation 10:30a.m…Worship and Message 11a.m. Invite a friend…bring a mom!
Love,

Hello to everyone!
O.K. So here’s the thing……the children around Grace Life are AMAZING! They are smart. They are creative. They are kind. They are energetic. They keep me young (well, some may not agree with that J). To watch them discover something new about Jesus and see the light turn on, is something that I feel honored to be a part of.
I am also honored to have some fantastic adults come along side to help plan for our upcoming new ideas and events. Assuming we will be able to use our extra space for a while, we are planning puppet shows, dramas, music, etc for Sunday mornings utilizing these gracious adults and some of the teenagers as well! You may have noticed the "Fusion" theme logo on the wall. It is our family ministry slogan.....Fusion.....Where Grace and Love join together with families!
Whitney Nolan will be leading us through this time of growth and planning and she is so excited. She has been a key player in the Sunday morning sessions with the older group of kids and we are blessed to have her experience leading the way.
When I was in elementary school, there was an adult who The Lord used to reveal His amazing and endless love for me. Without that adult’s heart to share Him, I would have had to find Him some other way. Now, let’s be honest…..God would have used another way….He was NOT going to let me fall through the cracks, but it is such a sweet privilege to be like that adult who revealed Him to me and have a chance for me to share Him with the kids and to see them actually begin to understand that He DOES love them no matter what! And that they can trust Him no matter what! And that they were created by Him as an individual masterpiece…no mistakes!
If you feel a pull towards these kids and want to join in, please do not hesitate! We would love your input as we plan for a whole new look! And for those already helping, thank you so much! As you share His love with the kids, share the kid's enthusiasm with others around you!
Get ready for an explosion of youth!

Hello everyone!
I want to give a shout out to all of my friends who love blueberries because the teens at Grace Life Church are selling fresh – straight from the field blueberries this year. We are taking orders from now until June 5th and the harvest will be delivered to two locations (Woodstock and Hampton) on June 12th and 13th.
These blueberries will be picked and cleaned on a farm in South Georgia and put on a refrigerated truck the next day to be delivered. They don’t get much fresher than that! And the price of these blueberries will compete and beat just about any grocery store around. We are selling them for $6.00 for a 2 lb. carton. The freshest berries at the best price….Sweet! (in more ways than one)
To place your order, please go to www.bigstufblueberries.com There you will see more about who we are and why we are offering this to you. There is an order form available there along with information on health benefits of blueberries, recipes and freezing instructions. Blueberries freeze amazingly well (and easy) so include enough in your order to freeze some for later.
We are so happy to offer a fundraiser that is a win/win situation. You get great quality blueberries at a great price and the teens get come cash for their summer camp fees.
Thank you so much for considering this. And please feel free to forward this offer on to all of your contacts. The more the merrier!
Once again, place your order at www.bigstufblueberries.com and THANK YOU!
If you have any further questions, you can email me at bigstufblueberries@gmail.com
Thanks again!
Tracy Sims and the BigStuf Summer Camp Crew

Take a look everyone,
As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which angels long to look. 1 Peter 1:10-12
What are these things about your salvation that the angels long to look upon? This salvation was spoken of by the prophets long, long ago. This salvation that results in a joy inexpressible…so, lets get together tomorrow and inexpress together. I have had some very interesting conversations this week. Maybe I can share them with you.
Easter last week was wonderful. Remember to pass along that we are in our new location. Breakfast club at 9am, donuts and coffee at 10:30am, with worship at 11. Bring a friend or friends, you are the ones the angels are looking at!
Love,
Herb
