TUESDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Men’s Bible Study - 6:30am here at Grace in the Conference room.
This study explores our vocation and how we, as children of God, have a place in God’s heavenly kingdom. We also have been given a new status here in God’s earthly kingdom. We will look at this dichotomy and how we balance our lives as Christians in a secular world.
Amazon Smile will give 5% back to Grace on qualified
purchases. Each quarter, the Amazon Smile Foundation
makes donations to eligible charitable organizations.
Donations will be made by electronic transfer approximately
45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Eligible
products will be marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation.”

THE LORD’S SUPPER
Here our Lord gives to us His own Body and Blood
for the forgiveness of all our sins
Our Family celebrates The Lord’s Supper on the 1st
& 3rd
Sundays of
the month, confessing that our Lord feeds us with His very body and
blood for our forgiveness. Please use these statements for your
own self-examination in preparation for communion.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Everyone should examine himself first, and then eat of the
bread and drink from the cup” (1 Corinthians 11:28)
1. I am a baptized child of God who is sorry for my sins and admits my need for
forgiveness before God. (1 John 1:9)
2. I believe that my sins are forgiven because Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for
them with His suffering and death on the cross. (Romans 5:9-11)
3. I believe that as I receive the bread and wine of this sacred meal, that I also receive
the true body and blood of Christ through which I receive the full forgiveness of
my sins in this sacrament. (Matthew 26:26-28)
4. As I receive forgiveness, I recognize that God is calling me to change my sinful
ways and live in a way that pleases Him. (Romans 12:2)
5. I understand that the Lord’s Supper is for those who have been instructed in its
meaning and power and join in this joyful confession. (1 Corinthians 11:27-29)

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Sunday Bible Studies begin at 9:45am.
The Great Deceiver - New Topic Beginning today, November 2
It should come as no surprise that an adversary fit to be called the “god of this
world” and the “power of darkness” is a force to be reckoned with. And so he is. In
“The Great Deceiver” we will explore a being so diabolical he will stop at nothing
to separate us from God. Meet us in the Conference room for this important
study.
God-Centered Worldview - How you look at the world matters!
Please join us in the Sanctuary as we open God’s Word and look at the world we
live in, our prayer is that this study will help you to be grounded in your faith and
gracious in your witness.
BETHLEHEM AGLOW
