Gracepointe Nazarene Church

🌟 What a blessed week at Gracepointe Church! 🌟

This week, we had an amazing time, starting with our JOY Luncheon on Thursday, featuring the incredible gospel trio, The Montgomerys. What a joy it was to gather together and lift our voices in worship!

Sunday was powerful as Pastor Spencer continued his "Seeing is Believing" series, reminding us to see others as God sees them. Our hearts were truly moved by the message.

And to top it all off, we wrapped up the weekend with First Sunday Funday! Congratulations to The Ma-ggotts (the Martin family and April Baggott) for winning first place in trivia. It was a night full of fun, fellowship, and a whole lot of laughs! 🎉

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

**Sunday Funday Alert!** 🏈🎉

Join us this Sunday at 5 p.m. at Gracepointe for a great time of fellowship and fun! Bring your favorite football party food to share and a card or board game to play. It's going to be a blast, and we can't wait to see you there! Let's kick off the week together in style!

🧼🍼 *Baby Wipes Collection for Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry* 🍼🧼

Gracepointe Family, let's keep the love flowing! We're collecting baby wipes for the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry all September. You can drop them in the bin in the foyer anytime this month.

Pastor Josh already delivered the first load this morning, and those wipes will start helping families in need as early as this week. Let's fill that bin and make a difference! 💛

🙏 What a blessed week at Gracepointe Church! Last Tuesday, we gathered for a wonderful meal and were inspired by the powerful testimonies of missionaries Gary and Penney Sidle. 🌍 Their stories of faith and dedication touched our hearts deeply.

Then on Sunday, we came together again for worship, where Pastor Spencer continued his impactful series "Seeing is Believing: Aligning Our Vision to God's." 👀✨

We are so thankful for these moments of connection, growth, and worship. God is truly moving in our midst! 🙌

But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24

Worthy is your name, Jesus! You deserve the praise! Worthy is your name!

🌿 **Join us for our Fourth Sunday Prayer Refresh!** 🌿

We know Monday nights haven't been easy for everyone to attend, whether in person or on Zoom. That's why we're moving our prayer time to Sunday afternoons, starting this Sunday, August 25, at 2:30 p.m. in the Worship Center. We’ll gather on the fourth Sunday of each month through December (Sept. 22, Oct. 27, Nov. 24, Dec. 22).

✨ Come experience:
- Uplifting music
- Inspiring teaching
- Powerful testimonies
- A healing service

If Monday nights haven't worked for you, this is your chance to REFRESH and allow the Holy Spirit to renew your body and soul. We hope this time together will be a source of encouragement and renewal.

Please share this with others, and be in prayer as we embark on this new journey. We’re excited to see what the Holy Spirit will do!

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. Psalm 112:4

✨ What a Beautiful Sunday at Gracepointe! ✨

Yesterday, we had an amazing time of worship and fellowship as Pastor Spencer wrapped up his powerful series, "No Place Like Home." We were reminded that this world is not our true home, and as believers, we're called to live differently in a lost world. 🌍

We also had the joy of celebrating Youth Pastor Josh's birthday during the service and with cake afterward! 🎉🎂

Thank you to everyone who joined us. Let’s carry the message with us this week as we continue to shine His light wherever we go! 🙏💫

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18–20

I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26

🌟 A Week Full of Blessings at Gracepointe! 🌟

This past week has been an incredible journey of service, worship, and community! 🙌

🙏 Sunday worship was a powerful time of praise and fellowship, and Pastor Spencer delivered an inspiring message that touched our hearts. We celebrated Promotion Sunday with a bevvy of kids and teens moving up in their classes, and the Baggotts 27th wedding anniversary was celebrated during service, too!

🎉 We capped off the week with our Back to School Bash/First Sunday Funday! The kids had a blast with games, food, and school supplies to get them ready for the new year. It was a beautiful evening of laughter, love, and community.
