THURSDAY EVENING @ SUMMIT - 6:30 - 8:30 PM

Wade Allen teaches a class at Summit Theological Seminary on the New Testament books of Philippians and Colossians. Everyone is welcome to attend. 

We are excited to welcome Jeff Bush to Grissom in May! Jeff is the Lead Minister at MVA Church of Christ in Marion, OH where he has served for 13 years, and has been involved in full-time ministry now for almost 3 decades.

HIs wife Trish is the brains of the operation and his 3 kids Abby (22 Librarian), Liam (19 Freshman at Great Lakes Christian College) and Ewan (14, He-Man like physique and personality to match) are his favorite parts of God’s creation.

Jeff’s heart is driven by a desire to bring joy and peace and confidence to our lifelong journey of walking with Jesus. Jeff believes strongly in life formation into the way of Jesus is the means to that end. In other words, life to the full we are promised comes through our response to Jesus call to “follow him” not just to a belief system. Jeff embraces that being created in the image of a Creator means that creativity is a primary way God reveals himself through us to others. So, he likes to use humor and music and other creative elements to share the gospel truth. 

We will also have a fellowship meal following the morning service. If you are able, please bring a side dish and/or dessert to share. Everyone is welcome! 

HERE'S WHAT WE ARE TEACHING THE G KIDS IN MAY...

WHAT'S NEXT?: A 4-Week Series from Acts on The Early Church


SERIES OVERVIEW:

Puzzles don't come with step-by-step instructions for solving them. That's what makes them so much fun! You have to try to figure out the next best step to take. When Jesus left Earth, his followers had to wonder the same thing— "What's next?" In this 4-week series about the Early Church, kids will see how Jesus' followers solved the puzzle of what to do next and the ways we can follow in their footsteps. As kids discover what to do next, they'll learn they can follow Jesus, pray for others, love like Jesus did, and share the good news.

REMEMBER: our MAY memory verse is:  “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 NIV) 

YES! I would like to receive a weekly CHURCH NEWS. 

This email will contain information for all events happening at Grissom, plus some encouragement and fun along the way!
