fall CONNECT GROUPS

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.

SISTERS BY GRACE
The 8-week No Other Gods study by Kelly Minter will help identify the functional Gods you may be serving. Often idols are obvious-money, power, fame. But subtler idols can sometimes take the form of loved ones, Instagrammable interiors, busy seasons of work, motherhood, or ministry. The study will help readers prioritize God and the unrivaled joy and adventure of Jesus being our heart’s ultimate treasure. Book Cost: $13
Meets: Wednesdays, 10AM beginning September 19th
war Room Moms
Moms of young adults will come together twice a month for a time of study, fellowship, worship, and prayer. We’ll watch and discuss Joyce Meyer’s “Battlefield of the Mind” DVD series which focuses on how our thoughts and beliefs impact us to live a victorious life in Christ and how to use spiritual weapons to defeat the enemy. This is a loving and supportive group of women who share a unique season in parenting and life. Join us every other Friday at 7:00 pm beginning September 7th.
REGENERATE
Community through learning, rooted in relationship. The goal of ReGenerate is to see Christians grow in relationship with one another and the Word of God. Come gather with us on Wednesday’s at 7 PM for a time of live musical worship, teaching and camaraderie! This semester, we’ll be starting a 6-week series titled, “Letters,” where we’ll cover Paul’s epistle (letter) to the Colossians.
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 Harford County foster care children and orphan care around the world. The group will start by reading Fields of the Fatherless by Tom Davis, discovering God's heart for the fatherless and developing an awareness to His call for us as Christians.
Possible outreach opportunities: Backpacks of Love through the Blue Ribbon Project, Launch Families, CASA (court appointed special advocate).
