Join us in the Grace parking lot for our final food truck night of 2015. Local Food Trucks are at Grace from 5:30-7 pm. Buy your dinner, and then stick around to eat and visit with others. Bring a friend!

The church is invited to spend some time with Grace children and to help families connect with one another. Bring your family and participate in field events together like a three-legged race, lawn bowling, ring toss and more. The fun happens Sunday, October 25, from 2-4 pm.

There are big group games, cider and coffee, treats and prizes! Yes, prizes. Enter the pie contest and our panel of judges will be happy to select the pie that best represents the categories selected. Sign up to enter the pie contest and to bring fall treats. The sign-up sheets are located on the Children’s Ministry bulletin board outside the Great Room.
