August 2025

One Service, One Family - July 6 - August 31: Grace family and friends! This summer we will come together as family each Sunday! We will worship together at 10:00am and then head to the Eagle's Nest and back lawn for fellowship and special treats!
Baptism - August 24: Baptisms will take place on the front lawn immediately after 9am service. Baptism is an important step in our faith journey. Why do we practice Baptism here at Grace? Here is what our constitution says concerning Baptism: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances to be observed by all believers until His return, baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Communion). Their observance by all believers is urged. (Mat. 28:19; 1 Cor. 11:23-26) If you would like to take this step in your walk with Jesus, please register HERE.
Note: Children in 2nd - 5th grades will need to have taken the New Life Class prior to being baptized.
Baptism on the Lawn & Potluck Lunch - August 24: We are excited to gather together to celebrate baptisms, share a potluck lunch and play field day games! Whoop, whoop! We’ll first meet in the Sanctuary for worship (kids too!) at 9am. Please bring your lawn chairs for baptism on the front lawn. If you have a canopy, please bring it to help with shade.
Please let us know how many will be coming with you and also what dish you’ll be bringing for the potluck - entrée, side dish or dessert. Register HERE.
Note: There will be no childcare or GraceKids classes.
WCF Casserole Dinner - August 27: Let’s make some yummy Baked Spaghetti Casseroles for our Wednesday night guests. These casseroles can be made 3 days ahead of time and placed in the glass refrigerator in Room 105 on the preceding Sunday morning on your way to service! You may also bring them Monday or Tuesday during office hours...or Wednesday, August 27 at 5:00pm thoroughly cooked and hot. Please follow this recipe. We need 12 large casseroles in all. Aluminum pans and printed recipes are available in Room 105. Please sign-up HERE. We can also use 2-liter drinks every Wednesday. Please drop them off in room 105 by the clothing donations. Thank you for feeding our community!
FAMILY Group HOSTS needed - September 7 - October 19: We are launching a 41-day push to focus our church on being grounded in chaotic times. We will look at 6 areas of everyday life and consider how being grounded in God would lead to the experience of peace. We need Group HOSTS to lead groups during this season.
