5PM COMBINED EVENING WORSHIP SERVICES AT GRACE
CRC:
We will be
celebrating Lord’s supper on December 18th
in the 10am worship service.
Did
you know that God designed all of creation to the
praise of his glory? Everything God created bears
witness to his power and love. On these cooler,
November nights, step outside and look up into the
clear sky. You cannot count the thousands of stars;
but in that moment, your feelings of awe are bound
to well up inside so that you are unable to speak.
Yes, the stars too, are an echo of praise to God.
How much more those who are created in his image…
