July 9, 2021
Hello to all you Grace Vineyard People (and friends of Grace who like to stay up to date on what’s going on here)!
It’s time for our weekly update. July is looking to be an amazing month around Grace Vineyard. I’ll try to do this one in chronological order, so here’s the quick points:
- Men’s Breakfast Tomorrow (7/10)
- Steve and Lisa Rogers on the Power of Relationships this Sunday (7/11)
- Sewing Purses for Zambia next Saturday (7/17)
- Promise Keepers Simulcast next Saturday (7/17)
- Invite the Neighbors to our Block Party (7/24)
- Block Party + Baking Contest (7/25)
- Marriage Getaway Filling up – register ASAP
Men’s Breakfast Tomorrow
It’s time for our monthly men’s breakfast at Ty’s Burger House. Our goal – we’d love every man who calls Grace Vineyard his home to join us in some aspect of our men’s ministry, and our monthly breakfast is one of the easiest ways to get connected. We meet at 8am just around the corner from the church at Ty’s Burger House, where we enjoy a delicious breakfast of eggs, biscuits and gravy with bacon, potatoes, juice and coffee, followed by worship and an inspirational message or testimony. This month we have invited our friend Pastor Matt Stoehr from the River Family Church (this is the church with the outdoor River Gardens where we celebrated Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday). For questions or more info about our Men’s Ministry, please contact Snake (Richard) Ertel at 760-622-4572 or rertel777@gmail.com.
The Power of Relationships This Sunday Morning
Pastors Steve and Lisa Rogers recently returned from a missions trip with the Vineyard Honduras partnership. On Sunday they’re going to bring a message on the Power of Relationships AND share stories from their trip. It’s gonna be another great morning of worship, ministry, fellowship, and equipping the saints, and I can’t wait!
Sewing Purses for Zambia Next Saturday
Ladies, we have a great day planned for enjoying some sweet fellowship while we work on an important project together.
- Learn to sew or teach others to sew
- Saturday, July 17th, 9am-1pm
- At Treina’s – 936 Sierra Court, Vista
- Suggest Donation $10, Lunch will be served
- Marriage Getaway is filling up – Register ASAP
On Saturday, July 17th, from 9am to 1pm we are going to meet at Treina’s home (936 Sierra Court, Vista) to sew purses. The purses will be filled with sanitary products before sending them along to girls in Zambia, Africa, along with cards that we will also be making. One of the effects of extreme poverty is that girls without access to sanitary products often miss school and lose their jobs. Our simple act of love will make a positive change in the life of every girl who receives one of our purses. Please join us! If you’d like more information, please contact Kim Ohst at 760-519-4558, or kimohst@gmail.com

Launching Sunday Nights with a Block Party
On Sunday night, July 25th, we will be launching the new Sunday Night service with a block party. We’ll start at 5pm with food catered by Todd Hannan! (His food is always delicious, in case you didn’t know).
SHOW OFF YOUR BAKING SKILLS cuz we’re gonna provide dessert by having a Baking Contest. If you know how to turn on an oven, we want you!
We’re also planning on having face painting for the kids and of course live music and worship.
Invite the Neighbors on July 24
We’re using this launch to reach out to the folks who live around the church (or anywhere, actually!), and that’s why we are calling this a Block Party. On Saturday, July 24, we’ll be taking flyers to the neighborhoods around the church. In the past, every time we have handed out flyers for an event around here, we’ve had some holy hello moments.
Please contact Steve Rogers at 760-500-4324 or srogers@gracevcf.org to let him know how you want to participate.
