Devotions (DT) for 2012!

Happy New Year!
As we start a new year, I'm excited to announce that there will be no more DT...packets, that is! :)
We'll be doing a slightly new format (It's a little bit like SOAP, but it's... ORCAP, or ORCA Pray...doesn't quite have the same ring, but perhaps we can make it work)
All you need for DT:
- Bible
- Notebook & Pen/Pencil
- The handy bookmark with the steps & questions for our new DT format (it's attached here, but you can get a fancy-schmancy shiny one next week!)
- List of Bible passages for the coming week
OAQs (Once Asked Question):
Q: I really liked the DT packets! Can I still find there somewhere?
A: Yes, you can.  If you would like to download a packet to supplement your study of the devotions texts each week, you can find them at the Gracepoint Devotions site.
I'm really excited for how we can all grow in our understanding of God and of ourselves through God's word this coming year!
p.s.  Also, just to let you know, our Gracepoint-wide key verse for 2012 is John 8:32: "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Middle School Girls Sleepover

GA-009.jpg

Last Sunday on Memorial Day weekend, the middle school girls headed over to Jiseon's after Sunday Service for a sleepover of epic proportions. The night included all manner of snacks, watching The Blindside, and a hilarious game of guessing the identity of the people in the baby pictures we brought in. Then on Monday we headed out to Santa Clara to California's Great America. Since we arrived right when it opened we had our pick of the rides. Girls showed what they were really made of as they rode thrilling rides like Flight Deck and Drop Zone, and some never dried out from riding water ride after water ride throughout the day. Even Lois and Sophie had their own set of rides to go on in Snoopy Land. We ended our day with a delicious dinner at In-n-Out before heading back to the East Bay. We had a great time, hope to see you there next time!
