Twisted Sisters (a GP women's group) meets every Wednesday at 6:30pm at Quincy's (2nd room) located at 2047 N. West St. You can join the group at ANY TIME! The group is currently reading BLESS. This book was the inspiration to our series earlier this year and is by Dave and Jon Ferguson. The book offers five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community—one person at a time.

Men of GracePoint are invited to come together for a monthly men's breakfast on the FIRST Saturday of each month. The next Men's Breakfast is scheduled for August 7th at 8am at GracePoint Church. We hope to see you there.

Fellas - let's get together and hang out once a month. Our monthly gatherings will consist of hanging out and connecting. We will meet at a new place each month. Some nights we will just hang out and eat and other nights there will be an activity (like axe throwing, hitting golf balls, etc.).

If you are interested in joining the text/email list TEXT the word "guys" to 316-803-1308 and fill out the form. We will get you on the list and notify you of our upcoming events. Email terry@gracepointchurch.tv for more information. Our first "Guys Night" is coming soon.

GracePoint partners with Family Promise of Greater Wichita to serve families transitioning out of homelessness. We host families 4 times a year but there is also work throughout the year at the FPGW dayhouse. Anyone who serves FPGW with GracePoint MUST attend a training class or a refresher training.

GP YOUTH will NOT BE MEETING in the month of August. This time gives our team and staff a time of rest and a time to plan an amazing Fall kick-off...we will see you in September!

Summer is such a unique time in the life of the church. We have many outreach and kids/youth events that take place during these Summer months and therefore ministry expenses increase. We often see a dip in attendance and ultimately giving during these months as well. Please consider setting up automatic giving to help us maintain our giving through the season.

Thank you so much for your generosity to GracePoint Church, we are so thankful for God's provision through you as we navigate this season in our community and the life of the church. We recognize God is moving in our church and in the hearts of those who call GracePoint "home". We invite you to give online by going to www.gracepointchurch.tv/give, or you can give by check by mailing your tithe to the church address (9035 W. Central | Wichita, KS 67212). Giving boxes will be available at our in-person gatherings for your convenience.

JULY GIVING: $39,598
This is 79% of our monthly needed budget of $50,000.

Total giving to our General Budget in June was $77,392 and our total General Budget spending was $43,888.
