Faith Resources We are glad that our Lord Jesus has brought you to Grace. One of the great things about Jesus is that He invites us to come along with Him so that we can experience His saving power, learn how to live from Him, and discover who we are meant to be as God’s children. Included here are resources to help you explore or learn what Jesus’ invitation means. You will find that the Lord’s kind invitation turns us toward others so that we can both bless and be blessed by the many neighbors we meet.
