LIFE GROUP FACILITATOR TRAINING: Sunday, October 1 -- 4-6 p.m.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Life Groups are a powerful way for us to be a unified community. If you are not yet in a Life Group at Grace Covenant Church now is the time to consider being a part of one. There are existing opportunities already in place but we would love to offer more Life Groups. In doing so we ask that you pray about becoming a group leader/facilitator/co-facilitator. A Life Group provides the opportunity to dig into a study and to share life together on a deeper level. There will be a training session on Sunday, October 1^st from 4-6 p.m. in the South Building here at Grace. Steve and Shelley Burdick will be leading the training. There is no commitment in being there but it will allow you the chance to get information and to ask questions about all aspects of facilitating or co-facilitating a small group. Childcare will be provided with reservations in advance. Please prayerfully consider this opportunity.

WHIZ KIDS TUTORING - Belmar Elementary Signups Open
Whiz Kids will be held at Belmar Elementary beginning Thursday, October 5th and every Thursday thereafter from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. "Having Fun and Changing Lives" is the organization's motto. Please consider pouring into the life of an elementary student offering scholastic tutoring, mentoring, and discipleship. There is so much opportunity in this program to see lives changed for the Lord! All information is available with the QR code below.
