Why Young Adults? part 2

Continuing our conversation with Michael Philips and David black about why it is important to invest in Young Adults through our church mission.

Melissa Schmitz

“I am super excited for Feed My Starving Children this year. I think it’s ironic that I started volunteering with that in the middle of struggling with anorexia. Since then I’ve been part of it every year. One year, our slogan on the t-shirt was ‘Hope Starts With Food.’ It just hit me- that’s my story. Hope starts with being physically fed, and as I was physically fed I became spiritually fed as well.”

This brave, vulnerable, and beautiful story from Melissa Schmitz is a beautiful picture of God’s faithfulness, healing, and hope. If you relate to this story and would like to talk to someone at Grace or to Melissa, please email us at Bath@graceohio.org

2: Love – Trademark | 4/2/23

We all know what a trademark is—a symbol, word, phrase, or design that distinguishes a product or service from imitation brands and indicates that it is authentic and originates from a particular source. So, what then is the “trademark” of a true Christian? By asking this question, we are seeking to identify the unique qualities that set apart genuine followers of Jesus from other distorted or diluted versions of Christianity. And this question is relevant for both those investigating Christ and those who are already devoted to him, as it helps bring acute clarity to what a life lived in full discipleship to Jesus truly means.
