Churches throughout the North Augusta area are hosting the Body of Christ for a time of fellowship and reflection during the lunch hour. Please make time during the Lent Season to worship at the various participating churches of different denominations during the next month and a half beginning here at Grace UMC on February 18. You will be treated to a meaningful worship as well as lunch and fellowship either before or after the worship service.
Our Lent Devotional Book
This year’s book, “Seeking Jesus Together,” will be available for pick up by Sunday, February 15th. Members of our congregation have submitted wonderfully thoughtful daily devotions to guide us through the season. These books are freely available, and donations are greatly appreciated to offset printing costs
Commitment-Transfiguration
Sunday, February 8
Theme: Purity in Life and Worship, Moses’ last sermons
Main Idea: God gives us a clear road map for how to live. There can be no deviations, no
improvising, no going backwards. There is one way to live the kind of life God intends for us. Jesus talks with Moses on the mountain during the transfiguration, and there is no going backwards for Jesus, only one way, forward to the cross.
Prepare for worship by reading the following Scriptures: Deuteronomy 10:12-22 and the sermon scripture Matthew 17:1-9

Frontline Ministry: An Essential Piece in Evangelism and Outreach: You are the Heartfelt Welcome of Grace UMC
Frontline Ministry is more than a parking lot attendant or door holder— It is….
• The first impression of Christ’s love
• The bridge between stranger and family
• The calm in someone’s anxious first visit
• The spark that turns “just visiting” into “I’m home”
It starts with a simple, genuine, “We’re so glad you’re here.”
The why: Because people may forget the sermon… But they will never forget how they were treated.
If you have a warm smile, a listening ear, and a welcoming spirit,
you already carry the most powerful tool in outreach.
Inspired by those who led before us….
Encouraged by their faith….
Called to take the next step!
Leaders from the Pews
This week, four members of Grace have begun the Lay Servant Ministries Basic Course, taking a meaningful step toward deeper spiritual formation and more intentional service in Christ’s church. We celebrate their willingness to listen for God’s leading and grow in faithful leadership.
Please join us in praying for Heather, Holly, Josh, and Sonja as they gather over the coming weeks — that God would strengthen, equip, and guide them in this journey.
Marching through Israel’s History with God and their Neighbors
During the month of February, we will be reading through Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, and Judges. All of these texts show us more about God’s expectations for the people of Israel—in relationship to Godself, in relationship to one another, and in relationship to their neighbors.
Don’t go through The Bible Year alone! Join our Sunday morning Discussion Group or our Facebook Group (“The Bible Year at Grace UMC”) - both groups are great for sharing your questions and thinking through the complexities of the text with others.
February Bookmarks are available in the Church Office and in our Worship spaces!
How NOT to Read the Bible on Thursdays at 6:30PM
Join Pastor Patrick and The Way's team on Thursdays at 6:30PM for conversations around the various unhelpful ways people approach the Bible. The story of Scripture is a complex, life-giving epic that has often been misunderstood, misused, and abused. If you've ever dreaded hearing someone say, "Well, the Bible Says..." or you want to gain the skills to read Scripture well, this interactive series will explore what Scripture is, what it isn't and how to tell the difference.
