Nooma: Dust
Believing in God is the very life of a Christian. But can we say that God believes in us? … That we can actually be the kind of people we were meant to be? People of love, compassion, peace, forgiveness, and hope. People who do the right thing? The teachings of Jesus have a few things to tell us about our Christian life of faith and a God who delights in us. Come to the Grace Place coffee shop on Saturday, August 21 from 9 – 10 a.m. for a casual discussion of this topic based on a Christian DVD series called Nooma. Everyone is welcome to attend. -

Summer Bible Reading: New Testament
Plan to participate in our Summer Bible Reading at Grace. The program includes weekly, abbreviated guides in the worship folder each Sunday that provide background information for a book of the Bible, as well as helpful hints for reading. You can receive the full guide personally each week via e-mail by contacting the church office at mail@gracedowntown.org or 414-271-3006. The guides alone will help you grow in your understanding of the Bible. You may, additionally, use the guides to read each chapter of the designated Bible book that week. This summer we will focus on the New Testament.
