School has started

Well, it's that time of year again for our young people... school started today. Sure enough, it had to be about 105 degrees on the first day of school. I'm excited to go and see all the sports our youth are involved in. Next week is the first home volleyball game and I'm anxious to see the girls win a game!!!

Well, what to say about the church but that God is still slowly but surely adding to the work. As I look at our church it is easy to see we are not the largest but there is one thing I love about this church and that is the sweet spirit we have here. The people in this church are wonderful, caring people.

We have just 2 more Sundays until we get into our missions emphasis month. It will be an exciting time where we will have a different missionary speak to us every Sunday morning and evening. We'd love to have you with us.

Again, we welcome everyone of every age in our church. We don't have all the fancy praise bands and latest contraptions, but we have something much more valuable... We have God's Word. So if you're looking for a church that preaches God's Word as compared to entertaining, we might be the home for you.

Lord bless and have a wonderful day!!!

Good Bye July, Hello August

What a blessed time we are having at Grace Baptist Church. We are seeing God bless and do wonderful things in the lives of people in the church. It's amazing to watch God work in the lives of people. June 27th-July 1st I had the priviledge to go to church camp with some of our youth in the church. It was great to see them build upon the walk with God and draw closer to them.

In August we look to have a quiet month. We will be gearing up and getting ready to begin our missions emphasis month in September. Every Sunday we will have a different missionary in both our morning and evening services. We would love to have you there. The youth will be going out on August 12th and having a fun time hanging out at Incredible Pizza in Tulsa. I'm looking forward to it my self. :)

It's been great to see God blessing the van routes as well. We currently run vans picking up children on Sunday morning and Wednesday nights. We would love to pick up your child as well.
