What does 2007 hold for Greater Grace Temple?

What does 2007 hold for Greater Grace Temple?



Before I attempt to answer that question, I will briefly recap some of the activity that took place in 2006!

Grace Temple literally tried to conquer the world in 2006. Thank God for all the willing workers, endless nights of labor, faithful giving, and fearless preaching... it made for a great foundation to the road ahead!

• January 1, 2006 New Year's Concert featuring New Music from Min. Lewis Gray.
• Countless Preaching engagements successfully completed by First Lady J. Wright.
• THE MOST EXCITING FAMILY & FRIENDS DAY EVER (featuring Dr. L. Miles from Detroit, Michigan) Sunday, March 5, 2006... if you missed this, you missed out!
• Revitalized Usher Board with a kickoff service On March 19th.
• Church Convention in April 17th - 23rd. Exciting singing, dynamic preaching, fun fellowship.
• "Heartburn" Album Release May 6, 2006. First ever album created by G-TAC.
• Over a half-dozen Jail Ministry sessions for men and women through 2006
• Pastor and Wife Appreciation May 14-20th.
• Summer filled with outdoor services hosted by the Outreach Ministry department.
• Great Speakers for Missionary Services which included Evangelist C. Tyson.
• First Annual Vacation Bible School session July 10th - 14th.
• Annual Back to School Revival August 9th - 11th with special guest Elder Barnes from Inkster, MI.
• Visit to Nashville, Tennessee with Choir and Bishop August 19th -20th.
• 6th Annual Men's Revival in November!

There was so MUCH MORE!!! 2006 was a year of change and internal growth for Grace. It was culminated with the Church Anniversary in early November in which the name change from Grace Temple to "Greater" Grace Temple Apostolic became official! The name change is a sign of a destiny change. We are expecting Greater Unmerited Favor in the final quarter of 2006 and we believe that all of the seeds sown in 2006 will begin to take root and bring forth fruit in 2007!

With that, let's launch into 2007!

2007 looks to be a year of building, continued progress, and restoration. With new found freedom and enthusiasm, we embrace the upcoming year knowing that the favor of God has not left us. We have new faces at Grace that God has sent us and we are happy to have. We also plan for 2007 to be the year that we take what God is doing at Grace to the radio airwaves. We are currently looking for a local station to air our Sunday Morning Service. We also intend to build off of the success of the Vacation Bible School (Bro. Mark Humphrey) and Outreach Ministry (Evang. Rachel Donaldson) of 2006 by making both bigger and more involved this upcoming summer. Not only that, we will continue to feature new music and expand the music department under the leadership of Min. Kevin J. Walker. Of course, Suffragan Bishop Jerry D. Wright will continue preaching the gospel and proclaiming the truth right into the new year. Look for more intense midweek bible study lession that will add PowerPoint!
