Church guide

How do we “close the back door” at a church with literally no walls? What does it mean to be “velcroed for growth”? Join us this weekend at Grace as we explain and attempt to answer those questions. And we’ll see that the key to our growth is going to be found in our commitment to Grace Groups — diving into God’s Word together in real, authentic relationships.

Aloha friends! Check out the early stages of our NEW ⛪️ WEBSITE!! Still in process (like all of us!), but we are so excited about how it’s coming together so far! 🙌🏼 GraceKona.org

We all need grace and we all need to grow in grace. Don't miss Andrew's next sermon this Saturday evening at 6pm Worship and at our Sunday 10 am Worship service.

Don't miss Pastor Andrew's upcoming message entitled: "Lots of Room for Growth." Scripture Passages: Luke 1:5-25, 11-25 & Philippians 3:1-16. And it's also communion Sunday! Bring a friend and let's worship and gather with our brothers and sisters.

It seems like many of us here at Grace are experiencing spiritual warfare. Let's make a commitment to pray for our church body this week.

Come to the Saturday night 6pm service or our Sunday 10am service for Pastor Andrew's next message in his summer series, "Faithfully Forward." This week's message is entitled: "The Great Collision" from Romans 3:21-26. See you there!

This Saturday and Sunday, Pastor Andrew will be teaching on the tensions that exsist and the fact that Jesus is God Almighty yet a servant of all. We will be in Luke 3; John 1:1-3; and 13:1-17. You don't want to miss this continuing series.

Another Great Day at Sports Camp 2019!

How much is divine and how much is human? How do we become a transformed community of believers? Pastor Andrew will be guiding us through God's Word as he challenges us with these questions and more. Saturday evening 6pm and our Sunday morning 10am message is entitled: "Rooted & Real" taken from 2 Peter 1:20-21 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Pray for our upcoming UW "Beyond the Gold" Sports Camp next week, June 24th-28th. Please pray for a productive, faith abounding and safe Sports Camp for all the kids and volunteers. Psalms 103:1 "Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name."

Let's continue to lift up our EFCA missionary, Joe Valentino, in the Philippines. He writes: Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors, What a week! Praise: God led me to a Christian orphanage called Gentle Hands that specializes in cases like John’s. His condition is worsening and on Friday I was feeling desperate, prayed, surfed the web, found a lead, visited, and within a few hours they set a room up for John. They have over 20 years experience in the Philippines working with youth who are neglected, abandoned, etc. They also started in a garage like what we are doing at Lourde’s home. Prayer: John’s dad is refusing to cooperate. Beginning Monday, Gentle Hands will work on getting John into their care to begin proper treatment. His life is at risk again. John responded to treatment in the hospital but since returning to the poor conditions of his home, his health is deteriorating even with medicine. Praise: We had outreach at Lourde’s home on Sunday. The weather cooperated, 4 friends from church came with me to see what we are doing, and 6 kids came. We are beginning by reading the story of Joseph together. God is always good, and He tells us to pray. Thank you for praying! So grateful for you! Joe

Let's celebrate the men in our lives who have served us well. Father's Day is this Sunday, June 16th.

We all struggle at times to worship God...This Saturday night and Sunday morning, Pastor Andrew will lead us through Psalms of lament continuing in the theme of "Worship." Don't miss your opportunity to be challenged and encouraged to press on in worship.

Please take a moment right now to pray for our Missionary in Action, Joe Valentino who is in the Philippines. He writes: This coming June 16, 3pm Manila time we plan to resume our Sunday afternoon outreach at Lourde's home. Please cover us in prayer for things like: 1. God to again lead kids around Lourde's home to attend. 2. For good weather so that we do not have to cancel (we are transitioning into storm season here). 3. For God to give Lourdes, Chad, and I clarity in how to best serve the kids who come. 4. For God to open the hearts of the kids to receive Christ. Gratefully, and for Christ Joe

This week's GCC scripture focus comes from 1Corinthians 15:3-5: "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve." http://gracekona.org/index.html

Don't miss the 1st official message of our new lead pastor, Andrew Severinsen, as he leads us through 1 Corinthians 15. We will also have a time of communion. Come ready to worship and praise God for His provision and for our amazing future!

The Way of the Cross tour begins April 15th-20th (Passion Week) sunrise to sunset on our church grounds. Come and spend some quiet time with Jesus alone or with a group and receive a more profound perspective the true meaning of Easter by retracing the steps of Jesus from the Garden to the tomb. You may come anytime, sunrise to sunset, for a personal “self-guided” tour or you may call the church to set up a time for a special “guided” tour for a group. There is a paper guide that will walk you through the process. Paul Kreitzer will narrate groups on Tuesday the 16th, 5:30pm for Grace Life Groups, and on Saturday the 20th, 5:30pm during the Saturday evening Service. (Note the earlier time than the usual Saturday evening service.) Call our church office for more info. 808-326-9580 or to reserve a group tour.
