Leadership Vision Night (LVN)
Because we value doing church as a team, one Sunday evening each month is devoted to cast vision, set strategy, navigate change, galvanize teams, and build into each other. This gathering is for all of our serving volunteers, teams, and leaders. At Grace, we desire to grow as leaders, understand our culture, advance the mission of Grace Chapel, and see lives transformed for Jesus.

Boise River Rafting, Disc Golf, & BBQ
We will be gathering with several other Foursquare churches to enjoy an afternoon of river rafting (starting at Barber park), volley ball, whiffle ball, frisbee golf and and BBQ (hamburgers and hot dogs) at Ann Morrison Park Shelter. The rafting begins at 2 PM. The picnic and other activities beginning at 5 PM. There will also be a water baptism in the river.

Sunday, August 17 @ 5:00 p.m.

Water Baptism
When we are baptized in water, we are in effect saying goodbye to our old life (self), and saying hello to a new creation who is IN Christ. Water baptism outwardly demonstrates what has happened inwardly. It helps you to grasp the reality of the spiritual truth that the old "you" has died. Water baptism is a public declaration of our identification with Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection. Scripture indicates that the requirement for baptism is that a person has accepted Jesus Christ into their life and has an ongoing spiritual relationship with him. Baptism is a public proclamation of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. What do I need? You should bring a towel and an extra set of clothes. Please wear a t-shirt and shorts...and expect to get wet!

Sunday, August 17th @ Boise River 5 PM.

Newcomer’s Lunch
If you are brand new to Grace Chapel, you’re invited to a one hour, informal lunch with pastors Chris and Mary Meade after the morning service in our community room. We’d like to get to know you and for you to get to know us! We will briefly introduce Grace Chapel to you, introduce you to a few leaders and spend some time answering your questions.

Sunday, September 14th @ 11:30 a.m.

Baby Dedications
As a church family, we are passionately dedicated to training you and your child in the ways of the Lord. That is one reason why we take time with your children and pray over them at their baby dedication. Wanting to dedicate your child to the Lord is one of the most righteous urges you will ever have as a parent. We dedicate babies during our Sunday morning service on the first Sunday of every month.

First Sunday of each month during the morning service.
