Check out the New Merchandise Store for Grace
Looking for some Grace swag? Check out our new merchandise store at https://www.bonfire.com/store/grace-camp-hill-merch/. You can find hats, clothing (with Grace's Purpose on the back) and water bottles. What a great way to support Grace and start a conversation.
Grace Personnel Committee
The Personnel Committee is revamping and reorganizing all of Grace's Policies & Procedures. We are doing this to make volunteering and working at Grace clearer and easier to understand. If you are a leader of a ministry, you will probably be hearing from one of the Personnel Committee members for a policy/procedure for your specific ministry. The Personnel Committee is not here to dictate what happens, but rather to organize and communicate with the congregation the policies and procedures in place. Our goal is to become as transparent as possible on the inner workings of Grace. Thank you all!

Matthew 21:3 - "If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."
Just a colt and her foal. How significant could they be? Could they really be used by the Lord for some great, heavenly purpose? This is one facet of stewardship we often forget: the blessing it is to us to be of service in the Lord's Kingdon. What honor the Lord bestows upon us by using our gifts for His goals!
