Second Sunday Social

Come join in for food and fellowship TODAY directly after second service. Please bring a food item to share with others—NO NUTS.

Day of Prayer / TOMORROW

We invite everyone to participate in a Day of Prayer focused on: Unity in our church body, Wisdom and discernment for the Consistory and Pastoral Search Committee. The future candidate God is preparing. Consider a day of private fasting to focus your prayers. In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us to fast with a sincere heart—not for public display. Join us at 7:00 PM for a 30-minute time of prayer. All are welcome, whether or not you choose to fast.

Saturday, December 20 at 8 a.m. The men of Grace are invited to get together to drink coffee, eat donuts, and pray together. All men of Grace Church are invited and encouraged to bring a friend. There will be no charge. We hope to see you there.
