Get ready for a "hoot" of a good time!

This past Sunday, we had our Baptism service for 23 precious brothers and sisters! Though we only got to hear a handful of their testimonies, it was clear that God has been faithfully working in their lives to bring them to this point.

If you missed out, or if you just want to experience it again, or hear from some of the other 16 people who didn’t get to read their testimonies, there are people’s spiritual journeys posted online.

From USF Koinonia, Chloe was baptized!

Chloe will be getting baptized this Sunday along with many others!  We will be going to Berkeley for this special service.

Info: Sunday Dec 6, 12pm @ Guardpost

Here is the link to this past Sunday’s message in case you didn’t hear it or want to hear it again. 

Before the message, the Grumpy Old Men interviewed Gracepoint whipper-snappers. This video just makes people smile involuntarily. 

Here is some sharing from the Thanksgiving service with some pictures from it.  And for a walk down memory lane, here’s a memorable shot from our Thanksgiving Celebration. 

Sure you’ve heard by now, but Thanksgiving Celebration (“TC”) is coming up quick!  What’s TC?  It’s a time to celebrate together all God has been doing this past year, and also a chance to be silly, dance a little, sing a bit, and have some good clean fun!  We also will have a huge Thanksgiving Feast!

Check out last years’ pics, it’s good!

Here is a video that was shown at the thanksgiving retreat remembering and being thankful for what happened this past year.
