On Sunday, April 30, our children and youth Sunday School classes combine for a service project. Our young people will pack Hygiene Bags for the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. This takes place at 10:00 am.
Congregational Lunch: April 30
Enjoy lunch on Sunday, April 30, with the Grace Community. We gather for lunch in the Great Room at noon. Grace provides smoked meat, and you bring a dish to share. Bring a friend too!
Muffins in the Morning: April 19
We love being the home of Jacob’s Learning Ladder (JLL). This Grace ministry has supported families in Wichita for over 35 years.
Having young children and getting them to JLL before heading to work can be a lot for parents.
To make the morning a bit less hectic, we serve muffins and coffee as parents bring their children to JLL for the day.
Please help us with this “act of kindness and thanksgiving” by either bringing muffins or serving that morning. Sign up on the bulletin board at Grace or call the church office at 316-684-5215.
Holy Week 2023
Holy Week begins on April 2, with Palm Sunday worship. We worship at Grace at 9:00 and 11:00 am and celebrate the Lord’s Supper at both services.
On Maundy Thursday, April 6, we gather in homes and in small groups at 6:30 pm for dinner and worship.
On Good Friday, April 7, we gather in the Grace Sanctuary at noon for a thirty-minute worship service. Join us as we read the story of Good Friday from scripture.
Sunday, April 9, is Easter, and we celebrate our risen Lord. We worship at 9:00 am and 11:00 am and gather on the lawn for an egg hunt at 10:00 am. In addition, we have a continental breakfast from 10:00 – 11:00 am in the Great Room. The flower cross is on the lawn all morning.
Maundy Thursday, April 6: Sign Up!
Each year we gather to worship on Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter. On Maundy Thursday, we commemorate Jesus’ last supper with the disciples. Some years we worship with a Tenebrae service. Last year we experienced the Living Last Supper drama.
In 2015 and 2018, we worshiped in homes, and we do this again this year. Recognizing that the Last Supper happened around a meal, you’re invited to share a meal together. There are multiple locations for this. Four Grace homes are available, and there are small groups at Grace in different rooms. You bring a dish to share. After a potluck supper, those at the dinner share a short worship and communion service.
Signup on Sundays or by calling the office, 316-684-5215.
The homes are:
- Kevin East and Emma Wingert (home near the church)
- Janice Farenholtz (Andover) – must be able to navigate stairs
- Terry and Anne Woolsey (East Wichita)
- Bill and Amy Woolf (Andover) – must be able to navigate stairs
If you prefer a traditional service, you are invited to travel with Scott Randle to Wellington, KS, where he leads worship. Those going to Wellington meet at Grace at 5:45 and leave at 6:00 in a carpool. The worship service is at 7:00 pm.
