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!
Men's Dinner - July 12 5-7pm: Men, come join us for one of the best family style meals you will ever have. It’s our annual trip to Hillbilly Hideaway in Walnut Cove. If you want to meet up at Grace at 4:00, you can carpool with others, which is a great way to get to know guys from the church. Dinner will cost you $25.75 (plus tax and tip), and it is ALL YOU CAN EAT. You will not leave hungry! Please register so we know who is wanting to carpool. Register HERE.
Covenant Class - July 19, 9am: Interested in becoming a Covenantor (member) at Grace? Join us for Covenant Class on Saturday, July 19th in the Eagle’s Nest. This class will introduce you to Grace’s constitution and theological position papers as well as dig a little more deeply into what makes Grace unique.

WCF Casserole Dinner - July 23: 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, July 23 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!
New Life Class - July 26-27: New Life Class is offered to 2nd-5th graders to learn more about The Best Life - A Life With God. This class is designed for kids to sign up with an adult mentor and is for any child who would like to know more about God. The class is a requirement for kids interested in Baptism. Register HERE.
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. The next New Life Class series will be Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27. You can find out more information about New Life Class and sign up for it on Realm or the website.
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.
