GOOD FRIDAY
March 29 @ 7pm
“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:4–6
Easter Sunday
Arrive early on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Christ with fellow brothers and sisters of Grace Hill Church. There will be an epic donut bar and a photo booth! The Donut bar and Photo booth will be opened at 9am (during our normal Sunday School hour). So come early, enjoy the morning, and share some time with one another!
Donuts & Photos
We are also inviting all of you to come ready to share how you have seen God at work in your life, or in the lives of others, at Grace Hill Church. Seek the Lord, wait on Him, read his Word and be in prayer throughout your week. Come ready to share during our regular time for Testimony and Reports. God has been at work and we all want to hear about it!
Sharing Affirmations of Grace
Our normal Sunday School is cancelled. So come at 9:00am to start the celebration and then stay for the Eater service at 10:30am!
Music Night
Whether you're a guitar guru, a piano prodigy, a vocal virtuoso, or tuning up for the first time, this gathering is the perfect opportunity for those interested in sharing their musical gifts in service to the church. Let's come together to play and sing!
April 10 @ 6:30pm
Please speak to Andrew Meissner if you wish to participate, and he will give you some additional information.
Historic Faith
On Sunday, April 7th we will begin a study through the Trinity Confession of Faith during the Sunday School hour. Trinity Fellowship is a family of churches united around common historic baptist beliefs. The confession was founded upon the 1689 London Baptist Confession. Bring your Bible and the Confession to learn more about what historic reformed baptists have believed for several hundred years, from all over the world.
What You Believe & Why You Believe It
Our Sunday School classes are open to everyone. A team of teachers lead our time together. All classes take place prior to our service and there is no homework. Bring your Bible and get ready to dive into God’s Word together!
Confession of Faith
You can download a digital copy of the confession. If you haven’t receive your personal copy of the confession, please see an Elder for yours. If you have any questions, please also reach out to any of the Elders.
Rethinking Retirement
Starting Wednesday, March 6th, Tony will be leading a mid-week Bible study and prayer meeting for those who have entered into their retirement years. Some of you have been living through this season for quite some time. Some of you have just recently arrived. We want to use this time to love and care for one another while turning to the Scriptures and prayer.
Every Wednesday @ 10am
Meeting at Grace Hill Church
Many of you have faithfully served for years, and some have outlasted many pastors. It is our conviction to plan for the church’s future, but it is also necessary not to neglect those who have helped maintain it. Come join your fellow brothers and sisters as we rethink retirement one Wednesday at a time.
Light refreshments with coffee and tea will be provided. Feel free to bring a snack to share. Please talk with Tony if you have any questions.
Leadership Retreat
Pray for the leaders of Grace Hill as they assemble for a day of prayer and planning. They will be looking to the LORD and his Word for wisdom as they lean forward and seek God’s will for the future of Grace Hill and the Merton community.
Saturday, March 9th
9am - 6pm
The leaders will be joined by Shawn Powers, Pastor from Redemption Hill Church in Des Moines, IW. A portion of their time will be devoted to learning more about the Trinity Fellowship of Churches. They will also be engaging with Pastors from the community who have expressed interest in partnering with Grace Hill for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus.
Adult Sunday School
Here’s what is coming up for Adult/Youth Sunday School:
March 17 and 24
Cody Hagfors will be leading us through a study on Psalm 119.
Beginning in April
We will begin walking through the Trinity Fellowship Confession.
Partners in the Gospel
During our Member Meeting on February 4th, the Elders announced that Grace Hill has recently begun exploring a partnership with Trinity Fellowship. Over the next couple years we hope all of us will have many opportunities to learn what a relationship like this would mean for our local church.
Together for Christ and His Church
Trinity Fellowship is a family of churches united around common historic baptist beliefs, a mutual desire to develop meaningful relationships, and shared aspirations to work together so we can faithfully proclaim the good news of Jesus by planting more local churches.
