Bringing You the Latest Buzz from Grace Fellowship
_____________________________________________________________________________
*Pastor's Pen
I can’t remember the name of the devotional writer, but I clipped this, “When my eldest daughter was 13, she flubbed her piano piece at a recital. The silence in the auditorium was broken only by the pounding of her parents’ hearts. She turned off the stage, threw her arms around me and buried her face in my shirt, “Oh Daddy.” That was enough for me. At that moment I’d have given her the moon and all she said was, “Oh Daddy!””
This is where intimacy with God starts. Prayer starts with an honest, heartfelt, “Oh Father.”
But Paul encourages us to go beyond the proper name “Father” and with the Holy Spirit’s help call Him “Abba” (Hebrew for “Daddy”). The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15
Church, here is what I know: God is wanting Grace Fellowship to connect with Him as never before! As we continue to step into “but the Church prayed,” let’s prepare our hearts in an intimacy with God that is beyond what we have ever experienced.
I don’t remember when I looked forward to a weekend like I am looking forward to this one. I love you, Grace Fellowshippers!

Campus Update
Excitement is building! I wish you could be in some of the meetings with the utility companies to see firsthand how God is answering prayer.
Our Building Fund crossed the $3.3 million-mark last month. The generosity of God's people has been truly miraculous.
Two Prayer Requests:
Let's pray for a year-end bump in our Building Fund giving!
Pray that the city will be favorable toward moving the sewer line closer to the property
