Stewardship Sunday will be observed November 11. There will be one Eucharist at 9:00 a.m., during which pledges will be received. Following the Eucharist, we will gather in the auditorium for a stewardship brunch.
3 new ways of giving are now available to Grace Church including online giving, mobile giving and text giving. Click on the 2 videos below to learn more.
It may feel different during the Offertory if you choose to Give this way. One suggestion is that you can hold out your phone so the ushers know this is how you choose to give instead of cash or check.
As part of our annual Stewardship campaign, each Sunday in October we will have a Stewardship speaker during both services.
On Sunday, November 11 we will have a combined service at 9:00 am followed by a Stewardship Brunch in the auditorium. The Service will be Holy Eucharist Rite I.

Winter Emergency Kits
Last year, Grace Church collected various food and clothing items which were used for winter emergency kits for the street people in our area. As a new mission undertaking, it was a big success and greatly appreciated by the recipients of them. Before winter is here, we would to make more and need your support again. In the foyer, you will see a gray plastic basket with a list of suggested items to drop off. The food items should be individually wrapped, for example, a box of individual granola bars, peanut butter cracker sandwiches, or breakfast bars, maybe small boxes of raisins; anything that is convenient and nourishing. There is also a need for socks, gloves or hand warmers, and hats. Please put the items in the gray basket and they will be consolidated into kits. Many street people visit the church on weekdays or come to the Sunday services looking for help. Let's make this year's mission undertaking even more successful. The need is greater than ever. Thank you for your support.
