Heavenly Father, I thank you for every Gracian that You have placed in Grace Assembly for such a time as this. GRACIANS May You watch over each one of them as they face 2017.

I pray that they will totally rely on You as they walk into a brand new year. Let your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus so that in every situation, they will have the assurance that You are in control. Lord, I pray You will place upon the hearts of every Gracian a yearning for more of You. May You grant them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that they may know You better. Use them as a vessel, a conduit of Your Holy Spirit that Your kingdom would reign through them here on earth. Let every Gracian live their lives missionally and grant them boldness to proclaim Your Name wherever they are. Increase the measure of their faith to believe You can do all things through their lives as they live in submission to Your Lordship.

JANUARY 2017 GRACE GROUPS LISTING

Grace Communities provides an environment through Grace Groups for Gracians to live in community with each other in a way that impact themselves and the world around them. It is a place where worship, discipleship, fellowship and evangelism are both experienced and expressed in and through a small but closely knitted group of believers. Our journey of faith was never meant to be alone. We all need help and encouragement from fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to keep in step with the Spirit and walk faithfully in the Lord. Through caring leaders and loving members in the Grace Group, Gracians can grow spiritually. You have already stepped into Grace and are worshipping God with us. Why not take the next step to join a Grace Group and to grow together in Christ.
