The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations.

The following verses are foundation to this vision:

• “Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14, ESV).

• “Make disciples of all the nations” (Matt. 28:19).

The unexpected gift delights and sparks hope in the life of a child as they hear of Jesus’ love for them. Shoebox gifts are given freely in Jesus’ Name in order to communicate the free gift of salvation given to us through God’s Son.

Shoeboxes will be available in the lobby on Sunday. Collection date is 11/22 or sooner.

Come join us to praise and worship our God. Everyone is welcome! We meet on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30pm. Each evening closes out with a time of prayer – for one another and our church body.

Ladies please join our pickleball group for some pickleball FUN and a great time of fellowship.

Everyone is welcome to join the Intercessory Prayer Night on 11/10 in the Fellowship Hall from 6-7:30pm. Gathering together in prayer in the name of Jesus is powerful and effective.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

We’re so grateful for our seniors here at SGF and enjoy serving them at the Senior Moments Lunch. Join us on 11/11 at noon in the Fellowship Hall for a sweet time of fellowship, friendship and yummy food as we gather around the tables together.

We are excited to announce that live translations of the worship service will be available in multiple languages including Spanish.  The program will also transcribe in English, which will give our deaf and hard of hearing community a way to participate.

This is a great opportunity to tell others about how they can be connected in their native language while attending here at Sierra Grace.

There is a poster in the lobby with a QR code and instructions to access the translation.
