Are you thinking about joining Grace Church, but have questions?

Pastor Diana will hold a no-obligation, informational Exploring Membership meeting in Bruer Lounge immediately following worship. It will be a brief gathering so you can get on your way to lunch. Childcare will be provided.

Sundays May 20, May 27 and June 10

Pastor Diana is planning some vacation time. In her absence, we are pleased to welcome Reverend Dr. Gary W. Metcalf as our guest preacher.

You may know Gary. He is a former Grace pastor.

If you don’t know Gary, you may recognize him. He is frequently in worship with his wife, Jane, who is a member of Grace.

It will be a pleasure to have Reverend Metcalf back in our pulpit.

P.S. We tried everything possible under the sun to get Gary to give us a current photo to share with you. He just laughed!

They have completed 85 hat/scarf/gloves sets and several assorted pieces. Way to go ladies and gentlemen!

They will be taking a well-deserved break. Their last knitting get-together will be Saturday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m.

A New Pictorial Directory is Coming!

ccmcc — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:00:49 +0000

All who participate will receive a complimentary 8″ x 10″ portrait, regardless of whether you purchase additional photos. This offer is open to family and friends, even if they do not want to appear in the Grace directory. Each additional household photographed benefits Grace.

If you reserve consecutive appointment times, you can have different photos. For instance, you might wish to group the children, different family members or friends for their own portraits. Also pets are welcome!

Photo dates are: June 21 & 22 from 2:30 to 9 pm; and June 23 from 10 am to 5 pm.

The best way to reserve your appointment time and get the best selection is by clicking here. You may also reserve your time before and after worship on Sundays, May 13, 20 and 27. If neither of these work for you, call the church office at 869-0765.

Say Cheese!
