We’re all held hostage to something… what is your captor? Maybe it’s fear, pride, lust, or even jealousy. The good news is that our ransom has been paid in full. Join Grace Community for Hostage and discover how to truly break free, once and for all, from the ties that bind.

Hostage starts Sunday, February 17.

Here’s a short video clip from Craig’s message last week:

What did you think about what Craig had to say about tithing and giving richly?

Want to know more about trusting God with the tithe?

Or, Grace’s 3 Month Tithe Challenge?

Two key announcements were made by the Grace Community Board yesterday morning at our Sunday service. We want to make sure everyone at Grace is aware of both of these updates. This post details this information in 3 parts:

1. Interim Plan for Family Ministry
2. Announcement from Dave
3. Comments from Board

While this posting details what was communicated yesterday, we have also published an audio recording of yesterday’s update from the board:

After much consideration, we’ve decided to cancel services this morning at Grace Community.

The Department of Transportation is advising that all roads around Champaign-Urbana are still snow covered and suggesting people don’t travel on them at this point.

If you have internet access, join us at the LifeChurch.tv Internet Campus and worship live with us and people from around the world.
Sunday @ 10:00a and 11:30a

Keep warm and we’ll see you next Sunday.

It looks like we might get 3-6 inches of snow by this Sunday morning. At this point, we plan to have services tomorrow as normal.

Here is our plan for communicating a Sunday cancellation…

We intend to make weather cancellation decisions and communicate them via the following before 8a each Sunday:

• Grace answering machine, announce email list, and website
• WDWS AM 1400 & WBGL 91.7 FM Radio
• WCIA 3 TV

Other media may also be contacted, but the above are our priorities.

I’m excited to announce a new feature for the Grace blogs. You can now subscribe to the Blog or Digging Deeper via email. Click on the little envelope icons or the SUBSCRIBE links to get started.

The Grace Board would like to invite you to an open meeting on Sunday, December 9th. Teresa King has resigned effective December 23. As a result of this, the board is taking a fresh look at family ministry to equip it to be as effective as possible. Our purpose is to listen to your ideas, comments, and desires for our Family Ministry, and to share our vision to continue the mission of serving children and parents by providing them an excellent experience each weekend.

Mike Frogley will facilitate the discussion, and childcare will be provided.

Update: This meeting will be from 11:15a-12:45p on December 9. Childcare for children through 5th grade will be available.

Here’s a special video message from Craig about our current TXT series.
