Let's Stop, Recognize, & Celebrate

External & Eternal Eyes

2 @ 2

During the early part of 2024, Grace committed to "2 @ 2" - a movement in which we would have external and external eyes.

As a church, we began this movement by reading "Turning Everyday Conversations into Gospel Conversations" and learned together how to share the Gospel.

Then, during the weekend service, everyone chose TWO non-Christians that they would pursue for Jesus over the course of the year. As part of our pursuit, we committed to sharing the Gospel message and praying for our 2 @ 2pm each day.

We also had the opportunity to hear from guest speakers Jordan Raynor (author of "The Sacredness of Secular Work") and Aaron Graham (pastor and expert in cultural realities of the Christian Church).
