Grace Brethren Chapel is excited to announce its 2015 Vacation Bible School, Camp Kilimanjaro: An Epic Expedition Through Proverbs, from the Answers in Genesis ministry.

This year’s VBS will run from July 6 – July 10, from 6-8pm, and will include classes for preschool to high school students. In addition to gospel-centered, biblical teaching, each night will include singing, games, crafts, and snacks.

Here’s a short description of this year’s curriculum from the AiG website:

Jambo! Welcome to Camp Kilimanjaro, where you’ll have an epic expedition through the book of Proverbs!

Every day, our kids are faced with choices—will they choose wisely or foolishly? As they safari up Mount Kilimanjaro, your trekkers learn that true wisdom comes only from the one true all-wise God, who wants us to be wise! And He’s filled the book of Proverbs with wise sayings for us! As they study Proverbs, your hikers will learn to have

  • ears that hear and do the Word of God;
  • hearts that trust in the Lord;
  • tongues that are tame;
  • hands that get to work;
  • feet that walk with the wise!

Set your compasses for Africa and prepare for an epic expedition at Camp Kilimanjaro VBS!

We are looking forward to a great week of learning about, and worshipping Jesus, and invite you and your children to join us!

Grace Reformed Baptist Church Cultivate

New Sermon Series

cultivate

Just as a healthy plant is one that is well-nourished and given loving attention,  a healthy faith also requires proper nourishment and devoted care. In his epistles to the various New Testament churches, Paul repeatedly encourages and instructs his brothers and sisters in Christ to give great attention to the nourishment of their faith (2 Pet. 1:3-11; Gal. 6:7-10; 1 Tim. 4:6-10; Col. 1:28-29), as a faith that lacks nourishment and attention will grow starved and weary, just as a sun-scorched plant.

On Sunday, May 31, 2015, Grace Brethren Chapel will begin a new sermon series on the spiritual disciplines, the biblical means of grace for growing and cultivating a well-nourished and devoted faith in Jesus Christ.

Grace Reformed Baptist Church Challenges Facing the Church

New Sermon Series

IMG_3313

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commissions the church to make and train disciples by taking the gospel out to all the nations. He then gives the greatest pregame speech ever by promising that he, the sovereign Lord and King of creation, will be with us on this mission! This promise is a great and wonderful encouragement to the church, as this mission is not one that comes without challenges and difficulties.

On Sunday, May 3, 2015, Grace Brethren Chapel will begin a new sermon series addressing some of the most pressing issues facing the church today as we carry out this great, gospel-sharing commission.

Change for Love

Grace Brethren Chapel is excited to announce our monthly Change for Love fundraising campaign. Change for Love is a nonprofit ministry, born out of the compassionate heart and creative mind of our very own Abriella Lykins. While in middle school, Abriella created the Change for Love ministry with one simple mission:  collecting and turning loose change into “gifts of love for people in our community and throughout the world.” To date, Change for Love has provided food, clothing, and hygiene kits to the homeless, and provided 40,000 gallons of clean drinking water in the Philippines, as well as a medical/dental clinic.

To make a contribution to Change for Love, or for more information on getting your church involved in our fundraising campaign, contact Abriella Lykins at abbylyk@gmail.com or Grace Brethren Chapel at gbcpiketon@gmail.com.

Grace Reformed Baptist Church Colossians

New Wednesday Night Study: Colossians

colossians-series-0011

Grace Brethren Chapel invites you to begin a new study in Paul’s letter to the Colossians on Wednesday nights at 6pm (begins on February 11, 2015). Here’s a short introduction to the book of Galatians from the ESV Study Bible:

Author and Title

Paul and Timothy are explicitly named as the authors of Colossians (1:1). Timothy probably served as Paul’s secretary (amanuensis) since the first person singular (“I”) is used throughout the letter (e.g., 1:24). The title indicates that Paul wrote the letter to Christians living in the small city of Colossae. Continue reading “New Wednesday Night Study: Colossians” →
