Grace242

Grace242 We don't go to church, we are the church. Tell me about the name “Grace242.”

There are two ideas behind the name “Grace 242.” The first is grace.

Grace is God’s underserved gift to us: we cannot earn it. We have faith simply because God chooses to give it to us. In addition, only Christianity believes in faith by grace. Every other world religion has, as part of its beliefs, the need to EARN your way into God’s favor. We believe it is a gift. So grace is one of those things that makes us (followers of Jesus) distinctive and unique from ever

y other religion. Not better, just unique. The second is 242. This refers to a passage in the Bible: Acts 2:42. This passage describes what the first followers of Jesus did. (they weren’t even called Christians at this point, nor was there anything called the church) “They devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching (the Bible), to fellowship, to sharing meals and the breaking of the bread, and to prayer.” In the Fall of 2012, a group of followers of Jesus gathered and did what the first followers of Jesus did in Acts 2:42. We also believe that as the group in Acts 2:42 grew into a Church that would take the Gospel to the world, so will we. This is why we call ourselves "Grace242.”

These are our Core Values:

Biblical. The Bible is trustworthy and authoritative in our individual lives and the life of our church. It is the heart of what we preach and teach, how we relate to one another, how we structure our church, and how we see the world around us. It is God’s Word. (Psalm 119:160; 1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Missional. We exist primarily to take the Gospel to the world, in message and ministry. We care; we serve; we sacrifice to help the poor, the lost, the downcast, the forgotten. Simply put, we are third, because God is first and others are second. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 20:24; 1 Corinthians 9:21-23; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20; Philippians 1:21-22)

Relational. We will love each other with the love that comes from God. We share our lives; serve, encourage and support one another; and commit to being the Body of Christ, each one belonging to the other. (Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:5; 1 Hebrews 10:25; Peter 1:22; 4:8-9)

Join us for a day of remembering and celebrating God’s goodness with a short message, music, testimonies, fellowship and food.

There will be a potluck lunch immediately following the service. G242 will provide the main dish and we ask that you bring a dish to share.

As part of our celebration, we want to also remember those less fortunate. We are collecting shoes to donate to Sole’s For Jesus ministry. The shoes are sorted and sent to Africa. Any kind, new or used (in good condition) are appreciated. Ask your family and friends if they have any they no longer need and let’s fill the boxes!

This past Sunday, our G242 family was privileged to witness the joy of the Lord as 10 of our students publicly declared their faith during our Youth Covenant Partner (YCP) service, sharing their statements of faith through words, dance and art. Arabella also affrimed her new identity in Christ and her commitment to following Jesus in baptism. God has great plans for Ella, Aubrey, MJ, Stella, Grace, Arabella, Lilly, Iris, Kateri, and Jason.
