The great antidote to anxiety is to come to God in prayer. We are to pray about everything. Nothing is too big for Him to handle, and nothing is too small to escape His attention.

News & Notes
Karras Family Welcome and Dedication
We warmly welcome the Karras Family as they have chosen to become members of the Redeeming Grace family. We are blessed recipients of their desire to grow in the Lord and their commitment to the Body of Christ. Matt and Eula also dedicated their sweet Amelia to the Lord Sunday morning. Let us continually pray for this family as they raise their daughter to love and serve the Lord; as well as having the grace, wisdom, and strength to train her up in the fear and admonition of our great God!
Spring Greetings from the Blackwells
Scott and Deanna Blackwell (and Jocelyn and Eden) thank you all for living with open hands and for coming alongside them. 'We couldn't do it without you! We really are so grateful for this opportunity and are excited to see how God will reap the Glory for it all!' Click here for more of the Blackwell Family's latest update.
Youth Father/Son Campout

Straight Shot Evangelism
Dave Newell will be teaching a one day evangelism class Saturday, May 25. We are praying God uses this equipping opportunity to help each of us invest in others and Invite them to Jesus this Summer and Fall. There is a $5 suggested donation for each registrant to help cover lunch. Please register even if you are unable to pay; we want you to participate regardless of your ability to contribute! Please register here.
Discipleship Group (D Group)
The final D Group meeting is this Sunday, May 5. Each month, Jenn and Paul Forino have gathered together with the youth (ages 12+), discussing the book, Growing up Christian. This book is a unique resource that addresses the many issues that challenge teens growing up in a Christian environment. Packed full of practical suggestions, this book will help teens overcome these dangers and grow in their faith and love for God. Please read the next chapter before the meeting. If you don't have it read, please come anyway. Don't forget to bring a paper bag lunch, or grab something at a local eatery.
GraceKids Volunteer Lunch & Training
All GK teachers and helpers are invited to a lunch and training time on Sunday, May 19 from 11:30am-1:00pm. We would love to have as many volunteers attend as possible as we share encouragement and some helpful updates/reminders. Please click here to RSVP by May 11. We hope to see you there!

Seeking to inspire a "renewed gospel-cheerfulness" among women faithfully serving God in their homes, pastor's wife and mother Furman highlights the reality of God's grace in all areas of life.
