Ministry News Spring 2022

Sunday School and VBS

Our Sunday School children will be joining us in the sanctuary on Palm Sunday, to hand out palms and do a reading at the beginning of the service.  Be sure to send your kids to Sunday School in the weeks before Palm Sunday (April 10), so that they know what to expect.

Everyone tell your friends, neighbors, and grandkids that we will be restarting our in-person Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday on the Grace Church lawn at 9 a.m.

The GROW team is looking for a volunteer to coordinate Vacation Bible School this coming summer. Contact Heather Kennedy if you believe God is calling you to this essential ministry.

Daily Devotionals

Join other Grace Church folks in an online discussion of the day’s devotional reading from Our Daily Bread every weekday at 9:00 a.m.
