Youth Coffee House – Talent Night: March 29

Coffee House This Year we start a new fundraiser for our annual IGNITE High School Mission trip, July 10 – 19.  This year we partner with TEAMeffort, doing home repair in the Gatlinburg, Tennesse, area.

This year we hold a Coffee House Talent night that showcases talent from our youth group and church family.  The cost is free to attend, and you can enjoy amazing desserts and coffee.

During the evening we kick-off the fundraiser part with our Wall-O-Money.  We have envelopes starting at $1 and growing incrementally up to $200.  You can take one off the envelopes and put in your donation. This helps offset our travel expenses for the 40 youth and adults participating in this year’s trip.  The event is Sunday, March 29, from 4 pm – 5:30 pm.

Please come and enjoy an great evening of fellowship and talent.  For more information you may contact Natalie Merten and nmerten@icloud.com or Kirk Anderson at kirk@mygpc.org.

Maundy Thursday: April 9

Each year we gather to worship on Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter. On Maundy Thursday we commemorate Jesus’ Last Supper with the disciples.  Some years we worship with a Tenebrae service, other years with a drama. Then there is a third way, which we experienced in 2015, 2018, and will experience in 2020.

Recognizing that Maundy Thursday happened around a meal, you’re invited to share a meal together. In mid-March we begin sign-ups at the church. Several Grace members will open their homes that night.  You sign-up for a home and bring a dish to share.  After a potluck supper those at the dinner share a short worship and communion service.  Maundy Thursday is April 9, with the home gatherings starting at 6:30 pm.

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: March 13

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community.  This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is on a weekend we meet the Friday before.  Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. We offer a brief worship service at 7:30 am.  Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:45 am.

We can always use volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and ticket distribution.  Want to help?  Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@myGrace.org or 684-5215.

Super Senior Party

Each year the Deacons host a ‘Super Senior’ party for the seniors in the Grace community.  This year everyone 80 and older is invited.  The event is on March 28.  We gather at noon in the Great Room.

We’re excited to fellowship, share a meal, and enjoy live entertainment.  Our theme is “Spring Fling,” and we hope the theme ushers in warmer weather. Invitations are mailed soon. If you are a Super Senior and do not receive an invitation, please let us know.  RSVP to the church office, 684-5215.

Remember Economy Corner

As you’re cleaning closets and organizing drawers please remember that Economy Corner would love to have items that you no longer can use.

We accept clothing as well as household items for our thrift store at Central and Broadway.  Please bring your donations to Grace any time.  Donations can be dropped off in the Economy Corner room in the Southwest corner of the basement. We will price items and send them to the store to be sold.  Grace receives 45% of the ticketed price of our items, which we then give to a variety of cause
