Glynlea Grace United Methodist Church l Southside l Arlington l Jacksonville Florida

Yesterday (February 23, 2010) we had an exciting leadership team meeting. Imprtant items were discussed and a major decision was made. 

Larry Braoch, from Crossroads School, spoke to us about the possibility of bringing the school back to Glynlea Grace UMC (GGUMC). He spent approximately 45 minutes patiently asking questions about the school and how it could be an outreach ministry for GGUMC. If the school comes back here, we could conduct their chapel services and begin a mentoring program for the students. The additional income it would bring would also be nice. There are, however, issues that would need to be worked out, such as what happens if the school damages the church property. During the March meeting we will decide if we want to do this. Please keep this in your personal prayers.

Praise Team has an exciting event planned for you this summer!  We are hosting a Praise Concert at Glynlea Grace UMC on Sunday, June 27, 2010, at 7p.  Tickets and concessions will be sold at this event to raise money for a sorely needed sanctuary sound system upgrade.  If you would like to give any additional money to this fund, please mark your donations "Sound System Upgrade."  Mark your calendars now and invite all your friends and family!  This will be an exciting event with musicians from all over Jacksonville sharing their praise music with you.  Also, continue to look for the praise team at Praise Fire events, and maybe you'll see the children singing with us too!

On Valentine's day we celebrate love and the endearing relationships that are so vital to our lives. As Christians, we should celebrate God's unconditional love and seek to love others with that same type of love. In this way, we will be doing our part to strengthen our relationships with others.

I am excited to be one of the Lay Leaders for our church this year. As Lay Leader, finding a way to hire a part time Children Director and Part-time Youth Director is top priority. Until we are able to get the funds for this, we need to do all we can for our children and youth to support them and Jessica Smith and Mehgan Webb. They need our help.

I. Introduction

The year, 2010, will be a pivotal year for Glynlea Grace United Methodist Church (GGUMC). It has brought us some opportunities that could transform the congregation and make us more relevant to the surrounding community. The result of this would be growth and kingdom building. During the February Leadership Team Meeting (Tuesday, February 23 7PM) we will discuss these opportunities and make decisions that night. Please prayerfully read this paper, attend the leadership team meeting (It’s an open meeting) and help us discern God’s will in these matters.
