Helping H@nds Ministry
As you may have heard, Microsoft will be ending security update support for Windows 10 this October. To help our community stay safe and up to date, the Helping H@nds Tech Support Team is offering free assistance with upgrading to Windows 11.
Microsoft has recently released a new procedure that allows many computers to make the transition for free, though not every system will meet even the recently relaxed requirements. Our team will gladly meet with you to check your PC and guide you through the process if we conclude it is possible.
For details or to schedule help, please contact the church office (or click for more info about Helping H@nds).
Help us brighten the holidays for families in the Tri-Valley! Bring a new or gently used backpack, and we will distribute them to kids in our community at CityServe's Christmas "Free Market."
Pick up your Operation Christmas Child shoebox at our Halloween Family Fun fest, fill it with goodies, and bring it back before November 17. It will go to a child who will receive the gifts and the story of Jesus through Samaritan's Purse.

Monday Night Men's Bible Study
Men, starting Monday, September 15th at 7pm we'll meet via zoom to study the Book of Revelation. This final book of the Bible stands as one of the most challenging and captivating writings of the New Testament. Filled with vivid imagery, symbolic visions, and powerful messages of both judgment and hope, it has stirred the imagination of the church for centuries. Our weekly bible study seeks to approach Revelation not as a coded puzzle to be unlocked, but as a pastoral letter, prophecy, and vision meant to strengthen believers facing trials and to remind them of Christ’s ultimate victory.
For more info, visit gracewaylife.churchcenter.com/groups/unique/monday-mr-bible-study or contact Frank Napoleon.
Volunteer opportunities with CityServe of the Tri-Valley Senior Services include Caring Visitors, Transportation Assistance, Exercise Class Helpers, and Family Caregiver Support Groups.
