Every year Grace Knitters make over 200 hats and scarves for local elementary school students. This ministry takes place primarily on an individual basis. Each knitter creates and then brings the scarves and hats to the church. Once here, a group puts tags on each creation before sharing them with students.

Earlier this month the Steamer Group took a tour of the Orpheum. They enjoyed learning the history, seeing the updates, and having their name in lights.

Do you want to think about your faith and get to know people at Grace? Join a five-week Sunday morning group starting October 18. Groups meet from 10 am – 10:45 am. There are three groups during this series, and all use the same study materials.

Each group will explore the meaning of salvation using the series For the Life of the World. Read below to see which group is the best fit for you.

For the Life of the World with Cheryl Lyda & Randy Routsong in Room 101

The material is presented in a scaffolding format as we unpack sections of each video in a start-stop-discuss manner, building on learning from previous sections. Dialogue is in both large and small group format.

For the Life of the World with Kelly McFall in Room 103

This group relishes in the post-modern quirks of the series. Instead of trying to understand everything, this group immerses itself in the material, focusing on the experience more than getting to one set answer.

For the Life of the World with Tom Rhoads in The Chapel

This group is large group discussion based with Tom using primarily the Socratic Method. Come and explore the material together.

As we view news clips of Syrian refugees struggling to reach a safe haven, many of you may be asking “How can I help?”

Grace is currently forming a small group to explore further how we as a congregation can answer God’s clear call to love those strangers among us.

If you would like to be involved in this group please contact Cheryl Lyda. The first meeting for this group is Wednesday, October 14 at 5 pm in the Grace Parlor.

 

 

 

All men, including youth, are invited to come sing together to form a Men’s Chorus for the 11 am worship service on Sunday, October 25. This is a great opportunity for those who are unable to sing in choir throughout the year to join our Music Ministry for a short-term commitment.

Rehearsals are as follows:

  • Wednesday, October 14 at 7 pm
  • Sunday, October 18 at 10 am
  • Wednesday, October 21 at 7pm

Come join your voices together to praise our God! Questions?  Email Donna Hetrick.
