COVID-19 Update from Pastor Jeff
Hey Grace Middletown!
I know we are currently in a season of uncertainty, however as a campus we are not slowing down! Changing routines a bit? Yes, but not slowing down. As you most likely are aware by now our physical location (as well as all Grace Community Church locations) are closed until at least March 28th. Yet we are continuing to love deep and wide. Here is what I am asking: continue to engage digitally. Stream the services, interact with your Teammates and Team leader(s). Some of which will even be offering digital opportunities to connect. Also let’s all be looking for specific ways that we can love people who are in in need. Please be sure to utilize the link: www.graceoc.com/covid. This is where you can find updated information, ask for assistance for yourself or others, as well as stay connected. Know that I am praying for you often, and already looking forward with great anticipation to being together in person soon. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything! Until then, let’s stay close to Jesus!
-Pastor Jeff Harrison
