Today we’re celebrating four years of GraceLife! It was over four years ago that God birthed the vision for GraceLife in my heart, and then one evening seven of us gathered together and that’s where it all started… since then we’ve seen many people receive Christ, be baptised, discover their purpose, encounter God’s unconditional love […]
I am reposting this humorous post I just read on churchleaders.com. Enjoy! Shayne Going Through a Tough Breakup With Your Church By John Crist http://www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/168066-john-crist-going-through-a-tough-breakup-with-your-church.html?p=1 I was walking into church the other day and saw a girl pulling into the expectant mothers parking spot.I looked at her and said, “Um, I gotta be honest ma’am, […]
