WARM UP WESTCHASE



Please join us to Warm Up Westchase this fall by sponsoring a brand-new, warm, winter coat to support students attending our local HISD schools. During the month of October, we invite you to stop by our table in the lobby on Sundays or go online HERE and sponsor a coat! HISD only provides transportation to students who live outside of a two mile radius, which leaves many of our students walking to school in cold and rain during the winter months. Our hope is to get our students wrapped in new coats and warm before the first cold front rolls through! We support 2600 students who attend Emerson Elementary, Walnut Bend Elementary, and Paul Revere Middle School, and our goal is to provide as many warm coats as possible. The need is great.




PASTOR APPRECIATION SUNDAY



Show some love this Sunday for our amazing pastors--it's Pastor Appreciation Sunday! Bring a card or note on Sunday or stop by our table in the Welcome Center to write a note of gratitude for all they do. A heartfelt, handwritten note is one of the best gifts a pastor can receive! And remember, even pastors need prayers! Remember them and remember their families in your daily prayer time.




OCTOBER SATURDAY SERVE



October 25: Helping Hands for Our Grace Family

Do you have a small project around the house or yard that could use an extra pair of hands? Maybe some light repairs, technology help, moving boxes, or yardwork? Our Saturday Serve team is coming together this October to support covenant partners who may need an extra hand around the house! We have a team eager to help with those "odd jobs" that can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for our more senior Covenant Partners. Through this ministry, we hope to share Christ's love in practical ways, strengthen relationships across generations, and remind one another that no one in our Grace family is alone. Whether it's helping with lawn work or doing some painting, we are ready to lend a hand. If you have a need or want to help out, please contact Kristy Elmore. Our team will be coming out on Saturday, October 25. Let's come together as a church family to serve one another in love!

Upcoming Dates:

November 8: Open Door Mission (please register before November 5 HERE).

February 14: Ronald McDonald House

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK

We celebrate the things that we have offered to God that are bearing fruit-- We celebrate what God is doing!

This past Sunday was a beautiful day- World Communion Sunday 2025 was joy-filled! We joined with our extended worship communities, including Grace en Español, New Life Korean Church, and Holy Nations, for a powerful, shared worship experience and communion. Children carried the flags of every nation as they paraded through the Sanctuary during worship. Following worship, we gathered in Fellowship Hall for a festive lunch featuring tastes from around the world! We are grateful to you, God, for the many different cultures that make up our beautiful Grace family!

THE BIBLE IN A YEAR UPDATES Anyone stumbling through Levitical laws?  We know--some sections can be less-than-stimulating! You can get through it! If you need a little illumination around all the things that The Lord told Moses, The Bible Project has wonderful videos that will review each book of the Bible, as well as broad overviews and videos that delve into a specific theme. The links to the book overviews are available HERE, and they are a great way to catch up with readings that you may have missed. There are also links to "posters" which give a broad overview of each book. These will also be available in the lobby on Sunday mornings. HERE you will find a multitude of other resources to help you with the reading plan, including videos, podcasts, and articles to bring greater insight to what you have read. You will also find recaps and summaries of sections for times when you may fall behind. Keep up the good work!

WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY

If you are out of town or unable to be here to worship in-person this week, please join us online via livestream HERE.

The Bible in a Year continues this Sunday. We are basing the sermon series on the passages we are currently reading, this week looking into Numbers 6:21-27. 

Show some love this Sunday for our amazing pastors--it's Pastor Appreciation Sunday! Stop by our table in the Welcome Center to write a note of gratitude for all they do. A heartfelt, handwritten note is one of the best gifts a pastor can receive! And remember, even pastors need prayers! Remember them and remember their families in your daily prayer time.

CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
Following the worship service this Sunday, October 12, there will be a Congregational Meeting for all covenant partners to elect elders and deacons, as well as at-large representatives to the Church Officer Nominating Committee. We will also have a brief financial report. Please make plans to stay for this important meeting.
