Operation Holiday

For more than 60 years, Operation Holiday has offered people the chance to share the magic of the holidays with thousands of people in need. Operation Holiday helped more than 8,000 children last year alone and expects to serve even more this year. You can help. Grace is a drop-off location for the holiday drive. Please bring your donations through December 7.

Operation Holiday Needs:

  • New or like-new children’s coats.
  • New or handmade blankets.
  • Non-perishable foods such as soup, proteins, peanut butter, and cereal.
  • Bath & Body Works matching body wash and lotion (men’s and women’s)

Hanging of the Greens

 Next Saturday, December 2, from 9 am to 1 pm is our annual Hanging of the Greens. It is a time of fun and preparation. We are decorating the church, sharing a soup potluck lunch, baking and delivering cookies, and doing a family craft. You can come for all or part of the day. If you need childcare, it is available on request.

Adult Sunday School: Advent in Plain Sight

Advent in Plain Sight Cover

You’re invited to join the Adult Sunday School Class at 10:00 am in the Parlor to explore together the book Advent in Plain Sight by Jill Duffield. We will look at selected passages in the book and discover “everyday objects that point us to the salvation story of which we are a part.” Join us and enjoy an Advent season “where [our] anticipation of Jesus’ birth and expectation of Christ’s return allow [us] to see God in all things at all times.” Books may be purchased at Grace for $10, or you may provide your own.
