During the month of August, the sermons focus on the theme of “Keeping the Faith.”
Scripture comes from Hebrews and Luke. Catherine Neelly Burton preaches each week.
On Sunday, August 7, we celebrate the Lord’s Supper at both worship services. Each week we worship at 9 and 11 am.
9 am Worship in the Great Room
10 am Education and Fellowship
11 am Worship in the Sanctuary
Worship at 9 am is in the Great Room and is led musically by our band. The style is less formal than the 11 am service. The 11 am service is in the Sanctuary and is led musically by our choirs. The style is more traditional.
Here’s where you will find education and fellowship opportunities in August.
A nursery is available all morning from 8:50 – 12:15 pm. From 10 – 10:45 am, Colissa Fry leads a Sunday School lesson for these children.
All children meet together in room 101 on Sundays August 7 and 14. There is no children’s Sunday School on August 21 and 28.
The class in the Great Room is led by the arts team, and the interactive component engages children as well as adults. Parents are encouraged to take their children with them to that class.
All adults are invited to the Great Room in August for a series focused on music and art in worship. The first two weeks look at songs we sing in worship The second two weeks are led by our liturgical arts team.
All adults are invited to the Great Room for Sunday School in August.
The focus for the month is on art and music in worship. The first two weeks center on music. We look at songs and hymns used in worship and note where scripture is present as well as some of the theology.
The final two weeks are led by the Grace Arts team. This group transforms our worship spaces throughout the year, enhancing the worship experience. You’ll hear testimonies from them related to art and faith and have the chance for some hands on activities.

The deacons are throwing a party! All Grace members and friends 85 and older are invited to lunch on Saturday, August 6.
The party begins at 11:30 am and includes lunch and entertainment.

Each month on the first Sunday, you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week.
We’re changing this for the end of July and start of August.Instead of food, you’re invited to bring school supplies.
The supplies go to Emberhope/Youthville to be distributed to students in the foster care system. See the needed donation items below.
Note the date change. Because Emberhope needs the supplies by the first full week of August we will send bags home on July 31 and ask you to return them on August 7. Thank you!
