Whether this is your first Sunday or your five hundredth, we're glad you're here. Grab a coffee in the lobby, check the kids in at Gracepoint Kids, and find a seat. This morning Pastor John opens Luke 15 and the story of a father who runs to meet his son on the road home. Wherever this week found you, there's a seat for you here. Welcome home.

Sunday

Pastor John welcomes everyone, especially first-time guests.

Fall Festival, youth night, and ways to get connected.

A time to respond. Our prayer team will be at the front.

Give online or in the baskets at the back.

Big idea: The Father doesn't wait for us to get it all together. He runs to meet us on the road home.<ol><li>We all drift. The younger son took his share and left for a far country (v. 13).</li><li>We come to our senses. Coming home starts with being honest about where we are (v. 17).</li><li>The Father runs. He sees his son a long way off and runs to him (v. 20).</li><li>Home is a celebration, not probation. The robe, the ring and the feast are all grace (v. 22-24).</li></ol>My next step this week: <input type="text" class="fillable-input w-48" placeholder="Write one thing you'll do this week..." aria-label="Write one thing you'll do this week...">
