A Great Sunday

Yesterday at church we had 61 in attendance. That is a few more than usual. We had some first time visitors in our service. The reason for some of those visitors was because we baptized 2 following the service. God has blessed us with a great church family at Grace Baptist. We encourage you to visit if you ever have the opportunity to do so.

A New Blog

Greetings from Grace Baptist Church

We are excited to see what God is going to do in the town of Cleveland, OK this year. My goal with this blog is to keep you up to date on what is going on around our church. The upcoming month of February looks to be a busy month as usual. We are starting off the month with our monthly Men's Breakfast at the Hickory House on the 5th at 8am. On Sunday the 6th at 5pm we will be having our church's Valentine Banquet at 5pm. It will be a time of food, fun and fellowship. Then on Monday the 7th we will be holding our monthy Ladies Meeting at 7pm in the church basement.

The most exciting part about this upcoming month is what will occur on Sunday, Feb 27. On that day the church will be celebrating it's 38th anniversary. We have a full day planned of preaching, singing and eating. We will have a morning service followed by a fellowship meal and then an afternoon service right after that. The exciting part about it all is that we will be having Bro. Bob Elfrink, a former pastor of Grace Baptist Church, preaching to us in both the morning and afternoon services. Also, there will be special music that day. Glory Bound, a men's quartet from Heartland Baptist Bible College will be singing multiple songs in both the morning and afternoon service. We are looking forward to a great day in the Lord's House.

We would like to extend an invitation to all those in the community to come and be a part of our services. You will find the church is one that is loving and friendly. You will find that we are a church that preaches from the Word of God. My desire is to preach the whole Word of God and not just pick out those things that make people feel good. But on the other hand, we strive to make the church a place where you can come and feel blessed spiritual when you walk out the doors.

May the Lord bless you and have a wonderful day.
