Email Announcements

Last Sunday, we started offering our church announcements by email. Don’t worry, your paper announcements will still be in your bulletin at church and if you’d prefer not to receive this weekly email, you’re free to opt out at any time. If you didn’t receive the announcements and you’d like to receive them, please send an email to pauls@gracebc.ca.

In the coming weeks, we’ll provide an “email only” option for people who want to help preserve the environment and not receive paper announcements.

Follow us on Facebook

Our Digital Ministry Team has revamped our church Facebook strategy. If you haven’t liked our page yet, please follow us at “Grace Baptist Church of Richmond Hill” (www.facebook.com/gracebcrh). Paul’s articles will appear there every Wednesday and sermon audio and handouts on Sundays. Then throughout the week, you’ll see event updates and gospel-centred content that you can share with others.

2019 Offering Envelopes

We will soon be issuing 2019 weekly dated and numbered offering envelopes. If you have not previously used this means of giving your tithes and offerings to the Lord’s work at Grace Baptist Church, and wish a set of numbered envelopes, please let Seun Odunlami know either by email at seuno@gracebc.ca or by a note in her mailbox by December 2nd.
