Friends and Family Day 2007

April 29, 2007 is our fourth Family and Friends Day.  The success of this special day comes as a result of each member working to invite friends and family for this period of study, worship and fellowship.

Most members at Grandview remember bother Dan Lightfoot who is our speaker. He has spoken here before on special occasions, and we are pleased to have him return to be with us for Family and Friends Day. The theme for this year’s program is “Living By Faith.” The combined adult class and Brother Lightfoot’s lesson will both focus on “living by faith.”

We encourage each member and family to pray about this activity, and to schedule their own activities to be a apart of the program on this day.

Here is the schedule for Friends and Family Day.

Let us all pray about, let us all plan for, and let us all prepare for this special activity.
