Sunday Morning Services

Each Sunday, the Grace House family gathers for a time of worship, teaching, and encouragement. Our services are Christ-centered and welcoming, designed to help residents and guests pause, reflect, and grow in faith.

During this time we welcome registered family members of the Residents and everyone in our Community to attend.

We begin with uplifting music and Scripture readings, followed by a practical, hope-filled message that speaks to real-life recovery and everyday living. Everyone is invited to listen, learn, and participate as they feel comfortable—no one is pressured to make a faith decision.

Sunday Service are also a time to build community. After the service, residents and visitors are encouraged to fellowship and often share a lunch, coffee and conversation, strengthening the friendships and support that carry through the week.

Whether you are exploring faith or deepening your walk with God, Sunday Morning Services at Grace House offer a safe and inspiring place to experience God’s love and discover fresh hope for the journey ahead.

Book of Ruth

Theme: Loyal friendship and family chosen through love.
Why it fits recovery:

  • Ruth stays faithfully with her mother-in-law Naomi despite loss and uncertainty.

  • Their mutual support shows the power of chosen family and steadfast friends when rebuilding life after trauma or addiction.

During a time of famine in Israel, Naomi and her husband Elimelek leave their home in Bethlehem and settle in the country of Moab with their two sons. While living there, tragedy strikes: Elimelek dies and, after the sons marry Moabite women named Ruth and Orpah, both sons also die. Naomi is left a widow without her children. Hearing that the famine in Bethlehem has ended, she decides to return home and urges her daughters-in-law to remain in Moab and start new lives. Orpah tearfully stays behind, but Ruth refuses to leave Naomi, pledging her loyalty with the words, “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” Ruth leaves her homeland and former gods to follow Naomi and the God of Israel.

When they arrive in Bethlehem, Naomi feels the weight of her loss and describes herself as empty and bitter. To provide food, Ruth begins gleaning leftover grain in the fields and, by providence, she works in the field of Boaz, a wealthy and kind relative of Naomi’s late husband. Boaz notices Ruth’s dedication to Naomi and treats her with extraordinary kindness, ensuring her protection and giving her generous portions of grain.

Seeing God’s hand in these events, Naomi encourages Ruth to approach Boaz as a potential “kinsman-redeemer,” someone in the family line who can marry Ruth and preserve the family inheritance. Ruth humbly follows Naomi’s guidance, and Boaz is moved by her faithfulness. He promises to redeem her if the nearer relative declines. After settling the legal matters in the presence of the town elders, Boaz marries Ruth.

Their marriage brings security and joy to both women. Ruth gives birth to a son named Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David, placing this Moabite woman in the very lineage of Jesus. Through sorrow and loss, Ruth and Naomi experience God’s quiet providence and redeeming love, showing how loyalty, faith, and hope can turn even deep grief into a future filled with blessing.
