Help us create the path to our next pastor call. Dr. Steven Marsh is leading a continuation of our Town Hall programs. Please add the dates below to your calendar and join us for lunch and discussion. All meetings are scheduled after one service on Sunday: service at 10 am and lunch/meeting following around 11 am.

  • Sunday, September 15, 2024 – Our Interim Pastor Journey Town Hall Meeting Step 4: In what ways would you suggest strengthening Grace’s relationships with the local community and the Presbytery of Southern Kansas?

It is time again to update our church database to make sure we have current or correct contact information. Next Sunday, tables will be in the foyer outside the Sanctuary with attendee information sheets. Please take a moment to look at your information.

Let our volunteers know if we need to update your information. For those who attend online, there will be a form on our website or in Grace News on August 22.

Our August Yellow Bag collection goes to another educational cause close to our congregation’s heart – Jacob’s Learning Ladder. Once again, you are encouraged to give a monetary gift through the Church to help JLL buy items that are needed. Please designate your gift as JLL on your check or if by cash, with a note identifying your gift to JLL. If donating online, choose the Yellow Bag designation.

Here is the list of items they want to purchase for the beginning of the school year. Your gift will go to getting the following items:

2 White Boards to hang on the wall

Uno Cards

Memory Games for 3- to 5-year-olds

Playdough

Small Storage Bins

Laminator

New Play Clothes – for 3- to 5-year-olds

Cardboard Sound Books for Toddlers

Plastic Organizer and Storage Bins for Refrigerator, Kitchen, Cabinet, or Pantry Organization

As you can tell, JLL requests are specific, so your financial contributions are encouraged to allow the staff to purchase the items they need. Thank you, Grace congregation, for your continued generosity and for helping the various causes of our Yellow Bag collections.
