The new sanctuary of Grace Baptist Church

Starting May 2, 2010 Grace Baptist Church of Odenton will move its worship services from Piney Orchard Elementary School to the Maryland Sunrise Farm in Gambrills. The address for the Farm is 100 Dairy Lane Gambrills, MD 21054. The Farm can be accessed from Route 175 (Annapolis Road) or Dairy Farm Road. The Route 175 entrance is at the intersection of Route 175 and Gambrills Road, next to David’s Natural Market and the Gambrills Post Office. The Google Maps link to the Farm can be viewed by clicking HERE.

Road signs will be put out on Saturday afternoon on Route 175 and Dairy Farm Road indicating how to access the Farm. There is a designated parking lot near the Dairy Farm Road entrance, next to the Picnic Pavilion.

The Lord blessed us with this new worship location. It allows us to be better stewards of God’s resources while at the same time having a beautiful building in a gorgeous setting replete with acres of farmland, cows, sheep, horses and goats. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that our new slogan is going to be, “Grace Baptist, down on the Farm!”

Sunday school and worship times will remain the same. Prayer and Sunday school will begin at 9:00 AM. Worship at 10:30 AM. In addition to our Lord’s Day worship service there will be a monthly fellowship at the Picnic Pavilion which is located 50 yards from the where we worship. Here is a picture of the Picnic Pavilion:

The Picnic Pavilion has ceiling fans for ventilation, charcoal grills, and men and womens bathroom facilities. It’s a great place to enjoy a meal and fellowship with your church family and friends. If you are a guest, please come to our fellowships. If you’ll be bringing your family, please let us know so we can plan on having enough food. You are more than welcome!

Here are the scheduled dates for our afternoon fellowships (all start time are at 1:00 PM and will end no later than 5:00 PM).
