Jacob’s Learning Ladder Summer

JLL has had a very busy summer! In June we had Water Day on the front lawn and participated in Vacation Bible School. In July we celebrated July Fourth with a parade around the building. We also took a Field Trip to Botanica to visit the “Washed Ashore” exhibit and to explore the gardens.

Summer is a good time for inside activities – we melted old crayons in a muffin tin to see what would happen! We also had a Drive-In Movie Day complete with cardboard box cars and popcorn! To wrap up our summer, we had a Bike-Wash Water Day. The staff at JLL is busy as ever getting ready for a new school year.

Music Ministries

The Music Ministries at Grace are gearing up for a new season with our choir and bell choir. The choir starts rehearsals on Wednesday, August 31 from 6:15-7:15 pm in the sanctuary. Choir members rehearse weekly on Wednesdays and lead worship at the 11 am service on Sundays. In addition to singing introits and choral anthems, the choir prepares an Advent cantata or large work with instrumental collaboration. If you like to sing, we would love to have you join us at any point in the season!

The bell choir starts rehearsals on Wednesday, September 7 from 5:15-6:15  pm in the bell choir room. The bells meet weekly for rehearsal and lead worship at the 11 am service every four-six weeks. Whether you’re an experienced ringer, or a beginner, we would love to welcome you to our group!

Please reach out to Tyler Morris for more information or questions. Feel free to call or text me at (316) 201-5361, or email me at tmorris@usd260.com

Stick around for fellowship in the pavilion or explore the park. Rides (train and pony), boats, paddle-boats, and putt-putt are all available for a fee. There are also paths for walking and playgrounds.

Sunday School august 2022 (002)

Adult Sunday School Open House

An adult Sunday School class meets each Sunday at 10 am in the Grace Parlor. The class is comprised of adults of all ages.  Currently the class is studying the Belhar Confession for six weeks but generally studies the worship scripture for the day.

The class is a good place for people to jump in and gain insight into scripture, ask questions, and get to know a fun and relaxed group of people.

If you’re curious about Sunday School, drop in at the open house on Sunday, September 4, at 10 am in the Parlor. Visit with some of the class members and enjoy refreshments.
