Grace Be Unto You Opens Men's Home
Partners Needed
There are so many people
that are in need who do not know which way to turn. We can pray for
them and help them in their spiritual journeys, but that is not
enough.
James 2:26:
For as the body without
the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
One of our missions here
at Grace Be Unto You is to help those in need get a fresh start.
Along with our other Church Ministries, we are currently opening a
Men's home in Colorado Springs called "Beyond The Bars". This will be a 6 month program with the intention of helping
Men get on their feet. This program is open to any man in need
from all walks of life, however our focus will be for the man first
coming out of prison. who do not have a way to get started. We will be receiving
referrals from Prison Fellowship along with other sources.
Starting a program like
this is costly. Some of the expenses are the normal costs of running
any home such as rent, utilities, food, insurance, and vehicle. There will be
other expenses as many of these men will have little as they come in
here. Some examples are clothing, bedding, towels, personal items,
etc. We need help as
the
Home will be supported entirely by private funding. We receive no
government support. Since we are a non profit organization, all donations are tax deductible and we will
provide you with a donation letter.
For more information
regarding this program, or If you would like to partner in this
ministry you may donate on line through this web page or contact
Pastor Bill Chancy at Grace Be Unto You Church.

Grace Be Unto You Church Partners
With Prison Fellowship
An important function here at Grace Be Unto You
Church is to go into prison and minister to those who are incarcerated.
We are God’s children no matter what our background is or what
culture we are from. In fact many of us who are on the outside
are in prisons of our own and often do not even know it.
Our Church is now partnering with Prison Fellowship and
Celebrate Recovery. This will allow us another opportunity to go
into prisons and teach the gospel. Celebrate Recovery is a
Christian 12 Step program based on the Beatitudes.
Prison Fellowship’s
logo is representative of Isaiah 42:3: “A bruised reed he will
not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In
faithfulness he will bring forth justice.” The symbol reminds us
that while society may cast aside those people it deems useless
and unworthy, God continues to pursue them with His steadfast
love, offering forgiveness and restoration. For more information

Interested in joining a Christian Recovery
Support Group?
Our Christian 12 step
program is taking a few weeks off. We are in the midst of partnering
with Celebrate Recovery and will resume meetings in a few weeks with the
new format every
Friday night at 7:00 PM on the first floor of the Church, North door.
A Christian-based 12 step group's purpose is to
enter the process of becoming more like
Christ and also to increase our fellowship with God.
A recovery group is a safe
place to share, and look for the support of other members as they all walk
this walk together. A Recovery group is there to provide a path for hurting and/or
addicted people to learn about Jesus Christ, and find the hope of a better
life.
For more
information regarding joining this support group, contact Don Wise at (719)

Pastor's Corner
Praise the Lord church, for God is good all the time!
We have come to the end of this month.
Summer is here and next month we will be celebrating Independence
Day on the 4th of
July. We can celebrate
Independence Day with our economy failing, with gas prices rising, with
food prices rising, our farm crops are drowning, with the job market
failing, the prison population is growing and our health plan is
failing.
This also is an Election Year and the Year of the
Olympics. In 5 months we will be
voting for a new President to govern our country.
Nobody really knows who to vote for, especially we the
Christians. And the reason for
this is because we have values and standards to govern us!
These values come from our Lord and Savior.
We cannot compromise with abortion and same sex marriages.
We love the people but, we hate the sin.
So, if presidential candidates oppose what God has set into
order, then we as Christians must obey God!
People are being confused about God and about entering
into heaven. Some religions
believe that they can get into heaven without Christ.
Some believe Jesus is just one of the ways into heaven.
Some believe that all religions must be right and as long as we
live right and do good, we will get into heaven.
For example: Two men can
marry each other and adopt children and live a happy life together,
raise the children in a secure environment and it is ok.
Well, this kind of thinking is ungodly and it is not ok.
We certainly can’t get into heaven without Jesus Christ!
Floods and tornados are on the rise.
Wild fires burning and destroying all around us.
Earthquakes killing thousands of people.
More people than ever before are homeless.
Many people are without health insurance and flood insurance.
The only thing I see we can celebrate is our walk with Jesus
Christ. He is the way for all of
us as being believers. We must
keep our focus on Him in all things.
He must be our daily guide through this life.
The times are going to get even harder ahead and many
will suffer. Our economy stock
market will seem to crash. Our
401k retirement funds will fall.
Disability will be on the rise with no money in the government account.
Banks will fold up.
Computers will crash. There will
be weeping and crying!
