Break the Huddle: Going out to play the game

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for Grace Place on Sunday, October 21.  There was no sermon because the congregation left the building to serve others in the community as “Grace on the Go.”

 

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as a basis for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.
