We’re going to Chicken N Pickle February 16 from 4-6 pm.
Join the Grace Community for food, fun, and fellowship at Chicken N Pickle. Chicken N Pickle is a restaurant and entertainment venue at 1240 N Greenwich Road, 67206.
You may eat and visit, play in the game room, try out pickleball, or ice skate. We have a couple of pickle ball courts reserved, so that will be free. Bring money for ice skating or food. There’s no schedule or program for this, just a time for fun.
It’s time to bake and deliver cookies for our community. This is the seventh year for our cookie initiative, and we’re excited to again offer a blessing to those who work in our city.
A bulletin board is up by the coffee bar. You sign up to either bake two dozen cookies, or you sign up for a location to deliver them. See the list of delivery locations on the bulletin board.
If you sign up to bake cookies, you bring them on Sunday, February 9. Bring the cookies to the church kitchen and volunteers package them up for delivery. On that same day, volunteers pick them up and deliver them during the week. If you need to bring cookies early, drop them off in the kitchen, and be sure to label them.
This is a small and valuable way for us to show some love to our community!
If you would like to get on the Student Ministry email list for either IGNITE or INSPIRE/WYLDlife, please email your request to Kirk Anderson.
The Christian Discipleship Team invites you to a three-week introduction to the Enneagram. The class takes place on Sunday mornings February 2, 9, and 16 at 10 am at Grace in the Parlor. Erin Osbeck is our teacher for the class. Erin is a licensed counselor and is certified in the Enneagram Spectrum of Personality Styles. Erin is a Christian and looks forward to presenting to us.
The Enneagram is an ancient tool that has been used for centuries to help people understand themselves better, including their spirituality. It’s gained a lot of popularity in the last five years. It is used by many Christians, ranging from Catholics to Evangelicals, and it is also used by non-Christians. The Christian Discipleship Team offers this with the confidence that the focus of this class is on Christians and our learning.
As with all offerings of Christian Education the hope with this class is both for personal growth and that the growth leads to furthering one’s life of discipleship.
If you want to learn a little more about Enneagrams before our classes, here are a couple of places to visit. For an Enneagram overview look at the website The Enneagram Spectrum of Personality Styles. And here’s an article the Religious News Service did in 2017 called “What’s the Enneagram, and why are Christians suddenly so enamored with it?” Join us in February as together we learn more about this tool.
Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is on a weekend we meet the Friday before. Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. We offer a brief worship service at 7:30 am. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:45 am.
We can always use volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and ticket distribution. Want to help? Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@mygpc.org or 684-5215.
