We are recognizing all of our high school and college graduates at Grace on Sunday, May 2. If you would like your graduate recognized, please email by April 18 the following information to kirk@mygpc.org :
Would you like a pew? Grace has some extra pews throughout our building, and we don’t need them. We have long, medium, and short pews, and if you want one, make us an offer. Contact Catherine Neelly Burton or Martin Burch for more information.
Jacob’s Learning Ladder holds a bookfair each fall and spring. The broader Grace community has a chance to shop for books on Sunday, April 11, starting at 10 am and going after the 11 am worship service. The bookfair is by Scholastic and has a variety of books for children.
The bookfair is on the basement level in the Teen Center. This can be accessed by going down the north stairs. If you need elevator access, please let a staff member know.
The Grace Art Show opens on Sunday, April 11, at 10 am in the parlor. Come and take in the art offerings from the congregation.
February Income figures improved, but we are still on the down side of income numbers. The accompanying graph shows that the Blue Bar (Regular income: Net food income, All giving, and Jacob’s income) was just under $44,000 in February for a total this year of 80,353. That amount of monthly income is not sustainable in the long run. We are using a portion of the $110,000 cash forward we are carrying from 2020 that you can see reflected in the green bar on the graph. Trustees will continue to monitor our financial situation as we resume two in-person services on Sunday. As we move through this new year we need everyone to continue to give to Grace. We cannot do what we do as a church without each of you. Your gifts of time, talent and financial support are crucial to us as we move forward through the year. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the ministries of Grace.
