This class is part of the GrowNGrace series and is a prerequisite for Freedom Weekend. \nEven after we have surrendered to Jesus as Lord\, there still may be spiritual\, mental\, or emotional areas where we need freedom. The Preparing for Freedom Weekend session is a small group discussion that takes place the Sunday before Freedom Weekend begins. It is designed to ensure that both participants and presenters have the proper heart posture heading into Freedom Weekend. Through the sharing of daily devotions leading up to Freedom Weekend\, participants will begin here by asking the Lord to begin revealing the areas where one may need freedom. This is also an opportunity for the participants to ask any remaining questions to the presenters. \nAll participants and presenters are encouraged to come. \nWe look forward to walking with you in freedom! \nFreedom Weekend URL:https://gracecovdc.org/event/preparing-for-freedom-weekend/ LOCATION:DC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gracecovdc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/c1566ef29dbd6338acaa66b3a6054cf6-nfz8YV.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T123000 DTSTAMP:20260612T213640 CREATED:20210916T135614Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210925T162216Z UID:601-1632562200-1632573000@gracecovdc.org SUMMARY:Grace For The Community DESCRIPTION:Serve and share the love of God!\n\n\nUpcoming Events: \nSeptember 25 – College\, Career and Job Readiness \nOctober 23 – Harvestfest and Fitness Fun \nGo with us into the community to engage as we serve needs\, offer life-changing prayer and share the gospel. \nFor more information email go@gracecovdc.org URL:https://gracecovdc.org/event/grace-for-the-community/ LOCATION:Langdon Park\, Park Site 1 West Side\, 1801 Hamlin St. NE\, Washington\, DC\, 20018\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gracecovdc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/3d935bf2297ac28b9aab85df11217901-GlQ5hU.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T190000 DTSTAMP:20260612T213640 CREATED:20210916T135611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210916T135611Z UID:597-1632333600-1632337200@gracecovdc.org SUMMARY:Awana Meetings DESCRIPTION:Join Grace Kids every Wednesday for Awana!\n\n\nWe’ll be back in September!\nAwana offers a curriculum that reaches kids and their families with the gospel.
