GRACE NEWS
VOTE YES ON 1
Yes On 1 is a community-based outreach to raise awareness of the
proposed pro-life Tennessee constitutional amendment slated for

FALL REVIVAL AT GRACE
Dr. Nelson Perdue is a tenured evangelist in the Church of the
Nazarene having served full-time since 1974. His ministry has taken
him to four continents of the world. He is a faithful exponent of
the message of scriptural holiness. Start praying now for
October 15-19 as we seek a spirit of renewal!
MISSIONS RALLY AT GRACE
Saturday, September 27, at 6:30PM, Grace Church hosts a
Chattanooga Mission Area Rally with Dr. Bob Prescott.
Bob Prescott serves as a Specialized Assignment missionary on the
Mesoamerica Region. He is also coordinating travel and teams to
Cuba, where he lived for 12 years in his youth. Recent changes in
government regulations permit travel to Cuba for religious purposes,
including construction of buildings. After 66 years, Work and
Witness teams can now go to Cuba!
ALABASTER OFFERING
The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings
around the world. While we understand the church consists of the
people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose
of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally
enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of
the Nazarene intends to "put down roots." Alabaster funds help
provide land for many Work & Witness projects, and the entire
Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land and
construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for
missionaries and national workers. Grace Church will receive this
special missions offering on Sunday, September 28!
FRIEND DAY
October 26 is our annual Friend Day! Let's start inviting and praying
now!
LIFE GROUPS
All of these groups meet each Sunday morning at 9:45-10:40am.
