Grace hosts a GriefShare Support Group beginning May 8 and continuing each Thursday thru July 31. The class meets in the Parlor from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. This group is for anyone suffering from a loss of spouse, family member or friend. At this 13-week group, you’ll receive valuable guidance and tips leading you to comfort and peace of mind.

The cost is $20.00 per person, which covers the workbook and materials. If interested, you may sign up by contacting the church office at 316-684-5215. Group leaders are Carolyn Cahoon, Janice Dunn and Karen Ohmes.

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. The next bus ticket distribution is Tuesday, April 15. Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed when people arrive. Want to help? Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@mygpc.org or 684-5215.

Our yellow bag collection for April is our long-time partner, Covenant Church Food Bank. We know that federal assistance to food programs across the country is being reduced or ended. Therefore, food pantries and food banks are being stressed with larger client bases and shortages of food. Our help is greatly needed! Jesus teaches us to help those who are less fortunate, and this is our congregation’s opportunity to be the best Jesus we can be and others will see. We are asking you to bring shelf-stable food and canned goods. Please leave your donations by the yellow bag post (by the coffee bar).

Each year on Easter Sunday, the worship spaces of our church feature the abundant beauty of Easter flowers, given for God’s glory, and honoring our loved ones. Following worship, the flowers are delivered to members who cannot regularly join us, or who have experienced a loss. You can participate by purchasing an Easter flower for $25.00. Call the church office by Monday, April 11, mail your check marked “Easter Flowers,” and let us know in whose memory or honor the flowers are given. The names will be listed in the Easter bulletin.
