An Invitation to the Community Life Committee – a meeting on Sunday, March 11 This is a fun committee to work with because our mission is to build a sense of community within the congregation.  That means we help people get to know each other and have some fun at church (fellowship type activities).  In the past we have sponsored Dine with Grace and Circles of Grace (small group activities) and game nights.  Our work is also sometimes educational, worshipful, and mission minded.  What will we do next?  You can help decide.  Pastor will be leading the work of this committee during 2012.  See you on March 11th.

An Invitation to the Property Committee Meeting- Sunday March 11th!  The committee works on the acquisition, maintenance, disposal, and protection of all property.  Join now and experience the excitement as we grow the building.  Our work could expand to “Going Green”, joining the Tech Generation, ——any ideas?  Tom Bice will be leading the work of this committee.  See you on March 11th.

 New Member Class – Sunday, March 25 after worship (or by appointment).  Sign up on the back table.  New members will be received on Palm Sunday, April 1.

First Communion Class – Wednesday, April 4 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm for students and parents.  At Grace we think children are typically ready to receive first communion instruction when they are in the first grade. Some parents choose to wait a bit and some choose to start a little earlier.  This is a fun class for students and their parents.  At Grace young people typically receive their first communion on Maundy-Thursday April 5 or Easter Sunday, April 8.  Sign up today!
