Economy Corner

We give thanks for another year of Economy Corner Ministry. Grace partners with First Presbyterian in running Economy Corner, a second hand store on the First Presbyterian property at Central and Broadway. Grace and First volunteers staff the store.

If you want to donate clothing to Economy Corner, please drop it off at Grace.  We receive a percentage of the proceeds from Economy Corner, and all money we receive is then given away. This fall we supported The Kansas Food Bank and a Coat Drive.

 

January Adult Sunday School - Tools of Righteousness: Living out God’s Plan for Our Bodies

Tools of Righteousness: Living out God’s Plan for Our Bodies January Adult Sunday School

Join the Christian Discipleship Team and all Grace Adults for Sunday School at 10 am in the Great Room in January.  Dr. Joshua Papsdorf from Newman University is our teacher. Josh taught us in 2014, and we’re excited to welcome him back. Here’s a description of the class.

“Some of the earliest controversies in the Church centered on the proper Christian attitude toward the body, and things have continued along those lines for two thousand years. The difficulty is only multiplied by the conflicting messages modern society gives us about our bodies. This series aims to recover a biblical Christian understanding of the body. Building on that, we look at how proper stewardship of our body can play a pivotal role in God’s plan for our lives, the Church, and the world.”

Children’s Ministry News: December 2017

Children’s Ministry at Grace has been messy and busy lately.  You won’t want to miss the Messy Christmas Church coming up Sunday, December 17, at 4:30 pm. Join us as your family takes a Christmas “journey” and meets some famous Christmas characters.

Messy Church is designed for families with children eight years and under. Older children and families are welcome to help as we need a lot of hands to pull off Messy Church.

Let Jennifer or Catherine know if you are interested. In addition to Messy Church, we have a special Pop-up Christmas pageant during the 5 pm worship service on Christmas Eve.  Kids and families may wear costumes if they desire and participate in the reading of the Christmas story.

Grace Children’s Ministry is now collecting paper towel tubes for a Vacation Bible School project.  This year, we team up with Erin Mae Lewis to present A Joyful Noise Vacation Bible School.  Everything revolves around music.  Even the crafts include making musical instruments that are used throughout the week.  Please leave donated paper towel tubes outside Jennifer’s office door.  Many thanks.

Mark your calendars for Children’s Worship Sunday on February 11. This is always a special worship service as we hear from our youngest Christians.  All tower class kids should be listening to the “Bible in a Minute” song and memorizing the words ahead of time.  Here’s a link to the song >
