To know Christ and to share Christ
Autumn 2014

I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the
first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in
you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ (Philippians 1v4-6)

Welcome to Grace Church Highlands...
...whether you are a regular member, visiting or just looking. We hope that
you will quickly feel at home here. Please stay for coffee after the service each
week and we hope that you will make friends and find out more about what
goes on here. In our sermon series we will be looking at the Apostle Pauls
letter To my dear Philippians which is surely a letter for our time.

There is plenty happening as well during the weekand the best way to get
to know people better is to join a Branch Groupour midweek small groups
that meet in homes. Above all we long to grow in our knowledge and love of
the Lord Jesus Christ and, as our motto above suggests, we long to share the
news of Jesus Christ with others.

We hope and pray that you will find us to be a welcoming church family where
you can both belong and believe. Most of the key autumn events are
described here. Please contact me
if you want to know more.

Yours in Christ
