Dear Friend;
Jesus said... "but I come to give LIFE and that more ABUNDANT"...
For many years the tradition of church, although well intended, has missed many opportunities to minister to the community at large. Religious beliefs and values have often times gotten in the way of seeing people where they are and meeting them there. Traditions have offered the message of life but with restriction and a sense of 'earned' deservedness.
Grace Restoration Fellowship is following the leading of the Holy Spirit into the places where people live... meeting them at the place of their need... and extending the love to them as they are. It is our calling as believers to simply proclaim the message of LIFE ABUNDANT found in Jesus Christ and to minister the GOOD NEWS of His life, death and resurrection to ALL people!
We currently are conducting our worship services which we call "CELEBRATION LIFE" at 3140 Troy Avenue, Lakeland, Florida, 33803. We are renting the sanctuary from the Unitarian Universalists Congregation. We are NOT affiliated with the Unitarian Universalists in any way, doctrinally or otherwise, we simply are renting their campus for use on Sunday evenings.
I wish to extend to you a very special invitation to join us for worship and become a part of the outreach we desire to share with the community around us.
Be blessed!
Lee Steele, Pastor
