FROM PASTOR TONY:

As you probably know, COVID cases are increasing extremely fast everywhere. Grace is no exception, many of our Grace family and friends have tested positive, and several family members were exposed to COVID over the last week or so. All of our Leam Team are either COVID positive or exposed. 

I am asking you to keep our Grace Family and Friends in your prayers. 

From the beginning of the Pandemic, Grace volunteers, your Lead Team, and I have worked diligently to provide a safe and healthy environment, as possible. We understand that hospitalizations and death are not as high with the new strand: Omicron, but people are still getting sick, families are losing work time, and it can hard on kids and seniors. 

So, due to the number of new cases among our church family, key leaders, and Lead Team we need to take some extra precautions.   

Those precautions are:
1. We will worship ONLINE ONLY the next two Sundays: January 9th & 16th. 

We will keep you posted if we need to go beyond those dates.
2. We will not have the Ladies Brunch in January.

3. No Youth on 01/12 & 01/19

While I am disappointed that we have to take these steps, I am very grateful for our Live Stream capabilities. Thank you for the generosity that allowed us to upgrade our Live stream abilities and to our Production Team for all they do to make it a meaningful experience.

Denni and I are praying for you and hope to see you at our ONLINE CAMPUS Sunday.  Please keep our Grace family and friends in your prayers and take every precaution you can to stay safe and healthy.

Pastor Tony

A NOTE FROM PASTOR TONY AS OF JUNE 2021:

Grace family and friends,

*Nevada has given COVID GUIDELINES to the counties, and Clark County has revised the guidelines.

Recap of the New Guidelines (As we know them):

1. No Capacity limitation

2. No Social Distancing

3. Masks should be worn indoors, regardless of vaccination status.

Moving Forward:

1.We will not verify or ask about Vaccination or check shot records. This is your personal information.

2. We will trust our church family & friends to respect and love others.

What we need from you:

1. REGISTER KIDS FOR SUNDAY MORNING CLASSES

2. Continue to RESPECT EACH OTHER and give room for different feelings & opinions

“The end of all things is near; therefore, be alert and sober-minded for prayer. ABOVE ALL, MAINTAIN CONSTANT LOVE for ONE ANOTHER, since love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining.  Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” 

1 Peter 4:7-10 (CSB)

REMEMBER:

It has been a long fifteen months since this started, and it may take some people a little time to be comfortable.

*Let's keep conversations positive and give each other room for their emotions to catch up with these

new guidelines.

*Let’s remember everyone is valuable to the Kingdom & God loves all his Kids

Grace, as we move forward,

I hope you will join me, your Lead Team, and key leaders and continue to be part of the solution. Let’s, together, continue..."Loving God, LOVING PEOPLE at home and around the world".

When Jesus was asked... 

"What is the most important command?", he responded, 

"First, Love God and second, love your neighbor (people)"  Mark 12:30-31

Let's continue to practice what we have built Grace to be. Let's err on the side of caution through love and respect, basically let's "Love people.” Emotions are still running high and there are a lot of different opinions on most of the steps we are taking. Let's practice love and respect for each other, even the people you don't agree with. Give each other room for their opinions and don't assume, “I am the one that is right.” The steps we are taking as a church are designed to practice what Jesus said, "love One Another" while creating as safe of an environment as possible. First and foremost, we are going to open doors for the Gospel. 

“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up.   No one is to seek his own good, but the good of the other person."                                            

1 Corinthians 10:23-24 (CSB)

Grace remember, I love you, God loves you, and YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU!

Pastor Tony
