Special Celebration Offering

The Grace Chapel community has been extremely generous in its support of the Heart of Grace campaigns to make this new facility a reality. In the biblical tradition of a "thank offering" and in gratitude to God for His many blessings, we are announcing today, on this Celebration Sunday, a special Celebration Offering related to two specific areas:

• Global Awareness Week begins February 26. Our theme is "Resolving the Famine of God's Word." As has often been our custom, we will again be accepting special gifts to support a featured missions project.

• We have been celebrating our Grand Opening this weekend, enjoying our wonderful new ministry space. However, in order to truly utilize much of this space for its anticipated ministry, we still need funding to acquire additional furnishings and equipment for many of the areas.
  

The table below represents the detail associated with our overall goal:
