Our missionaries, Ben and Kristiana Buckman, are in need of help for their cross-country move.
They currently live in Fortaleza, but are moving to Rondônia Brazil to be more accessible for the indigenous tribes that they work with. Grace Church has created a special collection to help with their moving expenses. The next few weeks, there will be special envelopes in the church pews for you to help. Checks can be made out to “Grace Church” with “Buckman Travel Expenses” in the memo.
Lenten Suppers
Historically, the six weeks leading up to Easter are often referred to as Lent. Christians of varying traditions & denominations observe this period of time differently (or not at all). At Grace Church of Harmony, Lent is not an elaborate time of fasting or self-denial so much as it is a period of personal reflection on human sinfulness and our need to be reconciled with God. In that spirit, beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5 and running through April 16, each Wednesday night, we will be offering a light supper at 5:30 p.m. in the social hall followed by a brief Lenten service in the sanctuary at 6:05 which will conclude at 6:20.
