Let us come together as one body to worship.

♦ Groveton Church of Christ ♦

Welcome! We are pleased you have joined us for our worship. We have a nursery provided beside the foyer for parents with infants or toddlers if the need arises. The annex has a live video feed of the Worship available. Guests, please complete the guest card located in the pew back in front of you. On back of the guest card is a place for prayer requests. Please turn in cards in the collection plate. If you have a cell phone or pager, we ask that you please put it on silent or turn it off during worship.

PM Sermon: Growing in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ. Lesson 8: Loving the Brethren. I hope you will all join us for this uplifting series based on 2 Peter 1:5-8.

The elders of this congregation have established time for Bible Classes for all ages on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. We have classes for babies all the way up to adults. These classes are here for our learning and for our edification of one another. These are important for our children so that they can get a firm foundation in the history of the Bible and in the love of God for them. They are important for "tweens" and teens to give them encouragement as they face the pressures of the world. Classes are also important for adults. We can always learn something new from the scriptures. How many times have you read a passage and get something new from it each time? The Holy Spirit reaches us through God’s word. It is vitally important to study together and encourage and uplift one another. Bible classes are structured in such a way that you can study the entire Bible over time. We are fortunate in this congregation to have many willing and capable teachers so that we can rotate teachers each quarter. If you have not been attending our classes, I encourage you to give them a try. They can only help you in your walk with the Lord.
