Wednesday Evening Activities

“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42)

Our regular mid-week gathering is centered on prayer and fellowship in the Lord Jesus Christ. There are opportunities for every member of the family to grow and experience the Lord in different ways. We feel there is just too much time between Sundays to avoid meeting mid-week, so Wednesday evening is our refreshment in the Lord and each other between Sundays. Regular, frequent group prayer and fellowship is a vital part of strengthening one another and being able to walk closely with Christ during the rest of our week. Activities at Grace are not just planned in order to be entertained, but are designed to strengthen one another for service as we leave the church.

Listed below are several of the activities you would find when attending a Wednesday evening gathering:

   

Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting

This is our general weekly prayer meeting. Concerns and praises for the church and personal concerns are lifted to the Lord. Simultaneous to this meeting the infants, children and youth of the church are involved in activities which include personal prayer, fellowship and, outings of various types.
  

Wednesday Night Youth Group

Youth in Middle School and High School (and beyond) meet on Wednesday nights each week for prayer, fellowship, community service projects, evangelistic outreach, Bible studies and other recreation. Activities are personally supervised and developed by Pastor Harry Simmons. Christian character development is a part of every activity.

Wednesday Night Children’s Clubs

Children in the elementary grades have their own set of activities to encourage growth and further their knowledge of the scriptures. Boys and girls are taught separately as their needs and concerns differ. Occasionally, for special presentations, groups are combined. Girls in grades 1 - 6 form a group called Serving My Master (S.M.M.). Activities range from storytelling to outdoor adventures to special film presentations.

Boys in the 1st - 6th grades participate in a group named One-On-One. They learn Christian principles through completing worksheets with a “coach” and through games and outdoor activities, when appropriate.
