THRIVING AS A CHRISTIAN



Wednesday, October 21, beginning with dinner at 5:30 p.m.

Grace is pleased to host James Tour, PhD, a synthetic chemist and nanotechnologist and endowed professor of chemistry at Rice University. As a secular Jew, Dr. Tour never thought much about God or religion until he was personally and powerfully faced with the reality of Jesus Christ. Today, he is one of the most eminent scientific scholars in the world, yet more than anything, he lives his life to help others find Jesus. Come hear Dr. Tour’s story about how he became a man of faith in Jesus and what you can do to be a thriving Christian and tell the resurrection story.

Dr. Tour's YouTube page has 261K subscribers. Get a taste of what you will hear HERE. He also has a podcast, "The Science & Faith Podcast," available on his website.

The event will begin with dinner and music in the Courtyard at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Tour will begin the lecture in Massey-Tucker Hall at 6:30 p.m., while the Family Ministries team will simultaneously host a children/student event in which the children and students can have their deep faith questions answered in a way that is both fun and engaging for them.

Registration will open soon!

This event is presented by The Jarboe Lectureship.

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK We celebrate the things that we have offered to God that are bearing fruit—We celebrate what God is doing! Starting this Sunday, our sermon series "Truth That Transforms," will take us on a journey through the historic faith of the Presbyterian Church, guided by the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Each week, our sermons will begin with Scripture and remain rooted in God’s Word. But rather than simply moving through a book of the Bible, we’ll allow the questions and answers of the Westminster Catechism to help direct the sermon scripture selection as we explore what we believe about God, ourselves, salvation, Jesus Christ, and what it means to live faithfully as His people. This is a classic, yet exciting way of engaging scripture and spurring you to think deeply about what you believe! More details are below or on the website.

WESTMINSTER CATECHISM UPDATES

Through the next few months of 2026 and into 2027, our sermon series will take us on a journey through the historic faith of the Presbyterian Church, guided by the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Each week, our sermons will begin with Scripture and remain rooted in God’s Word. But rather than simply moving through a book of the Bible, we’ll allow the questions and answers of the Westminster Catechism to help direct the sermon scripture selection as we explore what we believe about God, ourselves, salvation, Jesus Christ, and what it means to live faithfully as His people.

To help us, the Grace website has a page with many resources and deeper information. You may find it HERE. 

Printed copies of the Catechism are available in the church lobby, or in a downloadable format on the website. We've also provided a printable reading plan, and a series of weekly discussion questions for your classes, small groups, or your own study time.
