Grace Happy Ukes.....Spreading joy and God's love through the ukulele

Come experience worship, June 29, and your Grace Happy Ukes!

Not pictured at Brookdale: Sierra Davis and Audrey Fowley

The Grace Happy Ukes was formed approximately 7 years ago to teach members basic ukulele chords and sing songs together. Recently the group has changed focus and sings hymns and worship songs as well as fun oldies. You will get to enjoy the Grace Happy Ukes in today’s service!

 

This past season the ukes have performed at the Strom Fellowship at First Baptist-North Augusta, the SALT Senior Adult Ministries at Chapin Baptist Church, the Senior Adult Fellowship at Wesley UMC, and PrimeTime at Grace UMC. Ukes have also played at Brookdale Assisted Living, the Ledges Apartments, and have an upcoming visit to Camillia Walk in Evans.

 

To learn more about the Happy Ukes or to become a member contact Beverly Blevins at 706-829-8097. 

 



Worship

Theme: In the Luke passage, Jesus rebukes James and John because of their judgementalism, wanting to condemn a village that didn’t accept Jesus.  Jesus then teaches that we are to follow him with our whole hearts and not be distracted by other obligations. 

Special Event: Happy Yukes perform at 11:00 


Prepare for worship by reading this week's Scripture passages: Galatians 5:1   Galatians 5:13-25;   Luke 9:51-62

"Pentecost People" Devotional Series

Be transformed by the Holy Spirit through this 8-week devotional series created by the United Methodist Council of Bishops. 


We long for the spiritual renewal of the church, a new Pentecost: the transforming presence of the Spirit of God amongst us in a new way. We desire to rediscover what it means to be Pentecost People – people healed and transformed by the presence of the Holy Spirit, sharing in the death and resurrection of Christ, living in dynamic, welcoming communities, empowered to bear witness in example, deeds, and word to God’s reign of love in the world. 


This eight-week program is designed as a resource for the church to learn what it means to be people waiting for a new Pentecost.
