Happy Resurrection Sunday, Community Grace Church Family! Today in our series The Creed, we are looking at the key to our entire faith. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and ROSE AGAIN. And that means everything! Let’s focus on our risen Savior today.

1 Corinthians 15.3-4 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures…

I believe in God the Father  

Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth 

And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord  

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit  

Born of the virgin Mary  

Suffered under Pontius Pilate  

He was crucified and dead and buried 

He descended into hell and on the third day, rose again…

Prayer Requests:

Prayer requests are eventually rotated off to keep them current. To update names, simply request them to be resubmitted. Also, prayer requests can be added to the church’s private group Facebook page or contact the church office at admin@communitygrace.online. 

We are currently sending out prayer requests by email. If you or anyone you know is not receiving these, please let me know. I have found that some of the emails we have on record are not correct.

Kidland Nursery

Is your little one having a hard morning? Come utilize a fun, peaceful atmosphere, private nursing/napping room, changing station, and qualified volunteers ready to help ease the Sunday morning stress! We welcome your children under two years old on Sunday mornings during the worship service starting at 10:30am. The nursery is located to the right of the stairs in the lobby.

Ladies’ Book Club

Ladies’ Book Club will generally be meeting the 4th Thursday of every month.  The next meeting will be held April 23rd at 6:00pm and we will be discussing “Son of Hamas” by Mosab Hassan Youseff. If you have any questions, contact Alice Wallace at 574.265.5149. Copies of the 2026 Book Club List are located at “Connection Central” by the side entrance.

Men of Community Bible Study

Beginning April 28th and 29th, the Men’s Bible Study will start a new study of Hebrews and Judges. Hebrews study groups meet every other Tuesday at 7pm and every other Wednesday at 6:30pm at the church. The study of Judges will meet via Zoom every other Tuesday beginning April 28th at 7pm. Please sign up at “Sign-Up Central” if you would like to be a part of these groups.

We will be meeting for breakfast on April 11th at 8am at the Old Bedford Grill for fellowship and to pick up books.

Carry-In Luncheon

The Fellowship Team invites you to a Carry-In Luncheon on Sunday, April 19th after Worship. The team will supply paper products and drinks, and the meal will consist of the various dishes created by you. Join us for a time of good eats and fellowship. Please sign up at “Sign Up Central” on or before April 12th so we have a count for the table set up. 

Summer Backpack Ministry

March items: canned Chef Boyardee or SpaghettiOs (preferably pull-tab cans). Put items in the bin inside the entrance doors at the bottom of the steps.

Men of Community Bible Study

Men, join us for our Men of Community Bible Study. The study groups meet bi-weekly on Tuesdays (in-person and via zoom) at 7 pm and Wednesdays (in person) at 6:30pm. Please see Shawn Ritchey for additional info and the “Upcoming Events” calendar for meeting dates.

American Red Cross Blood Drive

Our next blood drive is scheduled for Thursday, May 7th from 12-5pm. 2 volunteers are needed for the 11:45 – 2:30 shift and 2 for the 2:30 – 5:15 shift.

We currently have 2 or 3 people who consistently volunteer for our blood drives, but we need more help. We have 6 drives a year with 4 volunteers per drive. If others will sign up, we could lessen the load to where each person would only have to volunteer once or twice a year. These are very easy jobs and are only 2¾ hour shifts. Please consider helping us.

Pro-Life Dinner

The 22nd Annual Pro-Life Dinner will be held on Friday, April 24th at Crossroads Bible Church, 5564 Business Route 220, Bedford. Doors open at 5pm with dinner at 6pm. Featured speaker is Cindi Boston, Vice President of Heartbeat International. Adults $25 – Students $15 – 4 and under free. RSVP Pam 814.494.1847 Text or Call by April 17th. For more information, see fliers at Connection Central by the side entrance.
