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!
Despite the crucifixion’s central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus’ death saves, or why, exactly, he had to die. The New Testament writers use a host of metaphors—ransom, sacrifice, reconciliation, victory—but never explain exactly how it works or why it had to happen this way.
What if that’s because we’ve been asking the wrong question? What if the cross isn’t a transaction to be explained, but a living Word from God meant to transform who we are and how we live?
The Bible Year Updates - Moving into the Histories of Israel
Now that we have left the Torah, we are deep in the history books of the people of Israel. The books of Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings show some of the best and the worst that the people of Israel have to offer. Learn more about how to read these histories at our www.gotgraceumc.org/the-bible-year webpage. You can find videos, visuals, articles, tracking calendars, and more!
March Bookmarks are available in the Church Office and in our Worship spaces!
