Mark 7:14-23 14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not…
Mark 7:1-23 Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.

Mark 6:45-56 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them.

Building Renovation
Our building is being renovated! God has provided an opportunity for us to make much needed renovations to the entire interior of our church starting on Monday, Feb. 16 and (Lord willing) finishing by Sunday, April 5.
During this time, we will have no ministry events at our facility.
For the intervening Sundays (2/22-3/29) God has provided a location which will allow us to continue our Sunday morning ministries, including nursery and Sunday school!
We will temporarily gather at Hamilton West Event Center (6081 Hamilton Blvd Suite 300, Allentown, PA 18106). Our worship service will remain at 9:30am, followed by Sunday school at 11am.
Directions (from church):
Head west on Hamilton Blvd toward Trexlertown.
Turn right into 6081 Hamilton Blvd (across from the credit union).
Go left around the building to suite 300, on the west side.
(You can also enter the Hamilton Event Center parking lot from either Grange rd. or N. Commercial Center Dr.)
A Note on Giving Methods
In addition to giving in person on a Sunday morning, you can mail a check, give via ACH bank transfer, or give via credit card. The platform we use to process ACH and credit card donations pays the fees so that 100% of your donation goes to our ministry (if you would like to tip the platform, that is an option, otherwise set the tip selection to “Other”)
Bill Pay
The easiest way to mail a check is to set up Bill Pay with your bank. Often this can be set up through your online banking portal and is totally free. Checks can be mailed to Grace Community Church, 1290 Minesite Road, Allentown, PA 18103.
ACH Bank Transfer
ACH bank transfer can be set up via our online giving platform to send money electronically. This is the preferred method of online giving.
Credit Card
We offer the opportunity to give by credit card as a convenience to those who manage their finances in a God-honoring way. However, we do not encourage anyone to go into debt and pay interest on gifts given to the church.
