Winter/Spring CONNECT GROUPS
February-April 2019
At Grace we believe that having healthy, growing relationships with people around us is a very important part of having a healthy, growing relationship with God.
Whether you are looking for a Bible study, community outreach or just friendship, we have something for you! There are groups for all ages and stages of life. And the great thing is you decide which group fits you and your schedule.
Abba's heart
There are almost 200 children in Harford County foster care and 153 million orphans around the world. The purpose of Abba’s Heart is to identify different ministry options and ways to participate in serving the poor, the widows, and the fatherless in Harford County and around. The group will meet for a 4 week book study, Fields of the Fatherless by Tom Davis, to discovering God's heart for the fatherless and developing an awareness to His call for us as Christians.
The group will also have monthly information meetings to provide practical and real ways to serve the "least of these." The monthly informational meetings, Reach HarKids Nights, will be on the topics of: CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocate), Foster Care and Adoption, Launch Families, and Human Trafficking.
