Our Theology Course will be suspended briefly.  However, Kirk Whitworth will once again lead us through our regularly scheduled material starting Sunday, September 12 at 6:30pm at the Ahrens NRPA (22377 Belmont Ridge Rd, Ashburn).  We look forward to seeing you then!

There is still time to register for our upcoming GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) Club!  This club is uniquely designed for girls (grades 1-6) and their mothers.  Club meetings will be held twice a month beginning in September.  To find out more or to sign up, visit the Information Table.

For safety purposes, please keep aisles free of baby strollers or other obstructions.  You may park strollers in one of the seating sections where chairs have been removed (near the main aisle by the auditorium entrance doors), or in the back sections of the auditorium.  Please feel free to ask an usher for assistance. 

We have the privilege of partnering with Covenant Mercies, an organization affiliated with Sovereign Grace Ministries, in offering financial assistance to orphans in Africa.  To find out how you can help an orphan in need, visit the Information Table.  

Do you know someone whose life was changed because of our church?  Sovereign Grace Ministries is looking for 30-second film clips for this year's Mission Presentation or to be featured on their website.  Submit by July 1 to be considered.  Further details at www.sovereigngraceministries.org/About/MissionPresentations/FilmContest.

We are in need of a video camera and tripod that could be used each Sunday during the service to supply a live video feed to our Mother's Infant Care Room.  If you are interested in either donating used equipment or volunteering to bring and run your own on a rotating basis, please contact us at office [at] gracecommunity [dot] ws. 

To serve our mothers using our Mother's Infant Care Room on Sunday mornings, we would like to set up a video camera in the auditorium to capture the service so that they can watch it live.  If you are available to set up camera equipment on Sunday mornings or have a video camera that you would like to either give away or loan on an ongoing basis towards this need, please contact the church office at (office [at] gracecommunity [dot] ws).  

Our Sunday morning Children's Ministry is looking for volunteers to serve in a variety of new capacities.  If you have children in Children's Ministry or if you enjoy working with children, please consider how you may serve in this area.

Each Sunday, our service is coordinated and implemented by many servants.  If you would like to join them, we have several serving opportunities currently available!  Our sound team is looking for volunteers who would be willing to help set up and tear down our sound system before and after the service.  No experience is required for this position.  The welcome team is in need of helpers to set up and prepare coffee before church begins on a monthly basis.  An opening is also available on this team for someone to staff the Information Table on the 5th Sunday of each month.  For more information regarding any of these opportunities, please e-mail the church office at office [at] gracecommunity [dot] ws.

Classified ads for Grace Community Church members are available at the Information Table for your convenience.  These ads include information from Grace Community members regarding items for sale, rentals and more.  If you would like to submit an advertisement in this publication, please e-mail it to office [at] gracecommunity [dot] ws.

As we seek to care for the building that we are priviledged to meet in each Sunday, we would like to ask for your help in making sure that your children stay within the rooms and hallways designated for our use and that they stay away from the various fire alarms located in the facility.  Thank you!

Questions for Parents and Teens

Our Sunday morning service is now being transmitted on FM 93.1.  Any radio or walkman should be able to pick up this frequency within Briar Woods High School.  Whether you are hearing impaired or a parent of small children walking the hallway during the service, we hope this option will be helpful.
