Christmas Brunch: December 19

The Grace Christmas Brunch is back…with a few changes.

We gather for food and fellowship on Sunday, December 19, from 10-11 am in the Grace Great Room. Per tradition, this is a potluck brunch, with some extra pandemic precautions. Casseroles and fruit are served from the kitchen, so instead of bringing your favorite casserole with your special recipe, please bake an egg casserole with the recipe provided by the sign ups. Breads and drinks are available in the Great Room for you to choose from.

There are sign ups for casseroles, breads, and juice by the coffee bar at Grace. Please sign up and plan to come on December 19.

Come enjoy some great food and fellowship. Hear from past members and listen to their favorite stories. The youth band performs, and maybe they’ll do it with some alums as well!  Please sign up by December 20 using the link below or by scanning the QR code.  You need to confirm you are coming and pick your food choice.
