Red Cross Blood Drive: March 22

  • Every two seconds someone in the US needs blood.
  • One pint of blood (the approximate amount given in a donation) can be used to help up to three people.
  • About 1/3 of the US population is eligible to give blood.
  • Five million patients in the US need blood every year.

On March 22, we host a Red Cross Blood drive at Grace from 8 am – 1 pm.  Sign up to donate on Sundays at Grace, by calling the office – 684-5215, or by going here>

You may use the “rapid pass” and save time on the day of your donation.  Go to RapidPass to finish the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online before coming to your appointment.

Super Senior Party

Each year the Deacons host a ‘Super Senior’ party for the seniors in the Grace community.  This year everyone 80 and older is invited.  The event is on March 28.  We gather at noon in the Great Room.

We’re excited to fellowship, share a meal, and enjoy live entertainment.  Our theme is “Spring Fling,” and we hope the theme ushers in warmer weather. Invitations are mailed soon. If you are a Super Senior and do not receive an invitation, please let us know.  RSVP to the church office, 684-5215.

Remember Economy Corner

As you’re cleaning closets and organizing drawers please remember that Economy Corner would love to have items that you no longer can use.

We accept clothing as well as household items for our thrift store at Central and Broadway.  Please bring your donations to Grace any time.  Donations can be dropped off in the Economy Corner room in the Southwest corner of the basement. We will price items and send them to the store to be sold.  Grace receives 45% of the ticketed price of our items, which we then give to a variety of cause
