Household Decision Meeting Checklist

• Choose a time during this week (April 28 – May 3) to have your meeting. Singles, consider meeting with other friends or a family from Grace.
• Prepare children for this event. Let them see how important this decision is to your family. Encourage them to draw a picture beforehand that relates to their family serving the Lord in a particular way. Open your Household Decision Meeting with a song that they are able to sing as well. Allow them to share their thoughts at the appropriate time.
• Select a passage from the Devotional Guide to read.
• Allow everyone to share how God has impacted them through this time (sermon series, community groups, Sunday School, prayer meetings, fellowship, devotional guide, quiet times).
• Fill in the pledge card at the back of this brochure as to your decision for a cash offering and a three-year pledge. You do not have to share the amount of your gift with others.
• Close your meeting with a hymn and a prayer (In Christ Alone is provided below).
• Celebrate! Rejoice in God’s goodness. Have dinner with friends, go for a nature walk, or plan ahead of time to go and serve someone in need.

Don’t forget to fill out your pledge card, place it in the envelope and bring it with you to church on Commitment Sunday, May 4.
