Food Drive for the Caring Place

The Caring Place is an outstanding resource that we have in our community. We want to take the month of May and fill the warehouse full of food for the widows, for the elderly, for the children, for all that are in need.

Bring in nonperishable food items during the month of May to Grace Point and we will take them over by the truck load.

"Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be" -Matthew 6:19-21

New Hope Pregnancy Center

We here at Grace Point partner with New Hope because we know that it is an amazingly effective outreach into the lives of pregnant moms, dads, students at every middle school and high school in our area and to those who may be dealing with tough issues from earlier pregnancies. The New Hope Banquet is a chance to hear more about how this incredible group reaches into our community, a chance to hear life changing stories and a chance for you to partner with them.

Since the birth of New Hope, hundreds of women have been strengthened and given hope on their personal journeys. There are numerous stories of lives that have been totally transformed as a result of the counsel, training, and support that they received from this center. We are so grateful for the opportunities given for us to continue helping women and men here in the greater Cleveland area. We are extremely grateful to the community of Cleveland, because they believe in the "Sanctity of Life", therefore they stand with us as we are a non-profit organization. Due to the generosity of others, we are able to offer all of our services free of charge, and fulfill the mission of New Hope which is to give "Help and Hope to those in Need"

Something Out of Nothing

God is so incredibly amazing and wonderful in so many ways and I am humbled by the fact that I have the privledge to spend forever with Him. For instance seeing God tranform and regenerate one individual who then goes on to share that new found love or refound love with others is one example of the power of our God that brings me to my knees. Jim Tallent and his life story "Something Out of Nothing" spoke to the hearts of so many and none more potently than Jim's own father inlaw. Just this past weekend right after Jim's wife Kathy showed her Dad the video he made a decision to give his life to Lord for eternity, incredible!

What the video does not tell is that Jim after recommitting his life to the Lord brought Kathy to the church the next day where she ask the Lord to be her savior. Thank you Jim for loveing the Lord so much in word and life and for being a part of a chain reaction that will continue forever.

Being a Christ Follower Cost Something

"We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. We prove ourselves by our purity, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and our sincere love."
-2 Corinthians 6:3-6

We had a great discussion last night in our small group at our house that revolved around the parable that Jesus told regarding the Sheep and Goats (Matthew 25:31-46). No, it is not that flattering to be referred to as either of those two animals but there is a great message in this story of judgment and justice. After a good bit of discussion regarding all the characters in the parable we came to the realization that sincere love and eternity is experienced and shared when we put our faith not in ourselves but in Christ alone. And then from our faith we prove ourselves by our sacrifices, our patients, how we take care of others, our purity, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and our sincere love.
