We are an open-minded, welcoming and affirming congregation, journeying deeper into the love and knowledge of Christ and inviting all to join us.

 
 

Scoping things out? Fantastic.

Here is a short summary of last Sunday and a brief preview of this upcoming Sunday.

Last Sunday’s Conversation:

November 9, 2025 — Ordinary Time (22) — Romans 15:1-7

What are Grant Park Church’s values? How do we understand our values through the lens of the Bible?

Looking at a number of “One Another” phrases throughout Scripture, we are honing in on 4 “Village Values” together:

  1. Love One Another

  2. Welcome One Another

  3. Pray for One Another

  4. Serve One Another

This past Sunday 11/9, we spoke about the distinct difference between “welcome” and “belonging.” Every experience of belonging contains a successful extension of welcome… but not every effort of welcome results in true, wholehearted belonging. What is up with that?

For Grant Park Church, we grasp onto this “One Another” in 2025 and heading into 2026 because the strength of our experience of belonging creates the foundations for others’ experience of belonging. Amen!

Coming up this Sunday:

November 9, 2025 — Ordinary Time (23) — James 5:13-18

Village Values: Pray for One Another

Why do we pray for one another?

How do we pray for one another?

And very importantly… what combination of things happen before we pray at all? In our body, mind, soul, and spirit, what is going on within us that brings us to a place of prayer?
