To know Christ and to share Christ

Spring 2016
Welcome to Grace Church Highlands!
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. (Matthew 9v37-38)
We began 2016 celebrating our 9th Birthday with a service of celebration for
the Lords faithfulness and blessing, followed by a joyful church family lunch
together. We look back with great thanks to God for His goodness and grace in
leading, sustaining and growing us as a church family. We also look forward in
eager expectation to what the future may hold and how we can continue to
be a faithful and growing church in this new season of life for us. As we look
forward we will continue to offer opportunities for friends to Uncover Jesus in
Lukes Gospel and to Explore Christianity as we seek to know Christ and to
share Christ.

It is always a great pleasure to welcome newcomers into the church family.

We hope and pray that you will find us to be a welcoming church where you
can both belong and believe. Most of the key Spring events are described
here. Please contact me, or Chris Stead if you want to know more.
Yours in Christ
