March Yellow Bag Sunday
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, or soon thereafter. In March our contributions go to the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The IRC works with new and long-term refugees in Wichita. Our church refugee team partners with IRC for a variety of projects. Below is a list of items needed at the IRC:
- Diapers (size newborn, 3, 4, 5)
- Baby wipes
- Thermometer
- First-aid kit
- Hand soap
- New bed sheet sets (twin and full size)
- New cutting board
- Can opener (new or used)
- New shower curtain
- $25 Gift cards to Walmart and/or Dillons. (If you’d like to give cash or check instead, please write “Refugee Yellow Bag” in the memo line on the check).
Cuba Connection: May 2020 Trip
The Presbytery of Southern Kansas is going back to Cuba in 2020. The next trip is planned for May 25-June 1. The hope is to take six-eight people.
The paperwork process for Cuba travel is laborious, so the participant list must be set soon. If you are interested, contact Pastor Jeremiah Lange from the Marion Presbyterian Church.

Darcy Eads, Pam Head, and Capri Zimmerman from Grace have all been to Cuba with the presbytery and are glad to talk with people. You may get their contact info from the church office. This is an exciting opportunity as our presbytery and congregation consider how God is calling us to partner with Presbyterians in Cuba.
Financial Peace University: Starts March 4
Imagine having no car payment or house payment; imagine having an emergency fund for the unexpected; imagine having vacations paid for before you take them. You don’t have to imagine it; plan for it!
Financial Peace University (FPU) is that plan! It teaches God’s ways of handling money. Through video teaching, class discussions and interactive small group activities, FPU presents biblical, practical steps to get from where you are to where you’ve dreamed you could be. You’ll learn how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend and save wisely, and much more! Attend Financial Peace University, Dave Ramsey’s 9-week financial seminar.
The class meets Wednesdays from 6:30-8 pm, starting March 4 in the Parlor. The cost is $99 per family and child care is provided (registration required). Want to register or know more? You can call Martin Burch at 684-5215 or go to www.fpu.com/1113560.
Ash Wednesday February 26
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 26. This year we again have two opportunities for Ash Wednesday worship.
The first is Ashes On the Go at Watermark Books. From 7-9 am Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton is at Watermark to mark you with ashes as you start your day. It’s a come and go time, though you’re welcome to get breakfast and stay for a while.
At 7 pm we gather in the Grace Great Room for an Ash Wednesday service that includes the imposition of ashes, Holy Communion, and music from our choir.
