Hey Grace Hills friends and family!
Last week, we kicked off our big BOLD teaching series, and the response has been pretty amazing all week long as people have talked about taming their fears and taking next steps. I can’t wait for this coming Sunday as we define faith as “Expecting God’s Best.” I hope you’ll bring a friend or three, especially if they’ve struggled in the area of faith.
We highly encourage you to invite others via Facebook. You can watch a weekend preview video here and then share it, or share this graphic.
We’re also announcing a little bit of big news about Grace Hills this weekend. If possible, read this post on my blog that talks about why our church gathers in a ‘third place’ like a movie theater. The future looks brighter than ever and I can’t wait to see who we get to meet and who takes a next step this coming weekend.
We’re also coming up on the third anniversary (January 18) of our first worship service in the Rogers Malco Cinema. We’re planning to make that a pretty special day. My heart is filled as I think about all that we’ve seen in the last three years.
Dozens of people have given their lives to Jesus, marriages have been saved, addicts have found help and committed to recovery, and people have stepped up to serve others. We’ve sent and supported missionaries to Nixa, Missouri, Thailand, Papua New Guineau and have begun planting a daughter church in Siloam Springs. And we’ve enjoyed a beautiful partnership with Grace Hill Elementary school and have invested hundreds of volunteer hours in the community through We Love NWA initiatives.
As we move forward, we’re going to believe the Bible completely, take big risks for a big God, do whatever it takes to reach the lost, make sure everybody belongs, be crazy about broken people, worship without holding back, walk with people on their journey to maturity, and bring out the best in people. And we get to be fast, fluid, and flexible as we multiply all over Northwest Arkansas!
Our next Newcomers Lunch is January 18 at 12:30 at Dink’s BBQ in Bentonville. Learn about Grace Hills and what we’re all about, as well as what church membership looks like for those who join. You can RSVP by just replying to this email.
I’ll see you and your friends at the theater Sunday!
