Grace
Baptist
Church
“To know Christ and make Him known”

Come thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free.


















Welcome to Grace Baptist Church! We are glad that you are with us this morning to share in our worship and teaching. During our worship service we take an offering, but we do not expect you, as our guest, to contribute. The reason we take an offering is that for those of us who call Grace our church home, giving to the ministries of Grace is an act of worship. That is why we make it part of our worship service.

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord: my soul shall be joyful in my God. For he hath clothed me in the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness. Isa. 61:10

My God, the spring of all my joys, the life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days, the comfort of my nights;
In darkest shades if thou appear, my dawning is begun,
Thou art my soul’s bright morning star, and thou my rising sun.

(From the Daily Monitor, the TWD-teeny weeny devotional)
