GOT Fellowship:
One Sunday night each month, it is "GOT Fellowship" night at
Hagerstown Grace. On "GOT Fellowship nights, we trade our
traditional Sunday Evening services for smaller group gatherings that
meet in the homes of some of our congregation's families. At GOT
Fellowship we enjoy singing and prayer time but most importantly,
we develop and build relationships with each other through close
fellowship. Please call for meeting times and directions.
Women of Grace USA: Women with a heart for missions will enjoy
this ministry, which gathers to plan, pray, and participate in various
mission needs. The purpose of the Women of Grace ministry is "to
provide a means through which women can deepen their spiritual lives and
understand and participate in Grace Brethren worldwide missions.'
Their motto is "On
mission to share God's love next door and around the world." This
motto is a reminder that the mission field is next door as well as
around the world. It is a call to action. It affirms that each of us is
to be a missionary in our own neighborhood and in neighborhoods around
the world.
Their theme verse is
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." (1
Peter 4:10 NIV)
Women of Grace meets on
the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Grace Lounge. Come
join us! Together, we can help extend God's loving arms around the
people of the world!
WOW (Women Of the
Word) Bible Study: Explore the bible with friends while taking a
refreshing break from your busy week. WOW is open to all women
interested in pursuing a greater knowledge of God's Word. Prayer time
and fellowship are also an important part of this bible study. Come give
us a try, and bring a friend!
WOW meets on Mondays in
the Grace Lounge, during the school year, and has two sessions:
-
The morning session
meets from 9:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m., in the Grace Lounge. Child care
is provided. (If school is cancelled, or is not in session on
Monday, morning WOW does not meet.)
-
WOW 'Evening Edition'
meets at 7:00 PM.
The WOW 'Evening Edition'
covers the same basic lessons as the morning study, but the two sessions
are not always interchangeable, due to the impact of the school calendar
on the morning group.
Child care is always provided during the WOW Bible Study.
Keenagers: Keenagers is a special ministry that reaches out to
seniors, men and women, ages 55 and older. Our Keenagers take part in

SMM, Serving My Master, (GIRLS, Grades 1-6):
SMM is the place to be for girls in grades 1 - 6! SMM provides a fun
atmosphere in which to learn God's Word and apply it to daily living.
The girls are challenged with Bible truth, goals to equip them for
ministry, mission training and ministry opportunities. They work to
encourage and help the missionaries supported by Hagerstown Grace. SMM
also reaches out to our church and local community. College students,
nursing home residents, homebound church members and others who may need
some extra encouragement are often touched by cards, care packages,
visits, or other special projects.
While learning to reach out to others in Christ's love, SMM girls build
lasting friendships, and grow in their own faith. They also have a lot
of fun along the way, with crafts, games, sleep-overs and special
events. The purpose statement of SMM is 'To teach girls to live Godly
lives in an ungodly world and to reach their world for Christ.'
