On Sunday, we shared an exciting update on our "Striking a Match for Burning the Mortgage" drive!
Below, you'll find this past Sunday's bulletin insert which shares this update!
|
|
Together, Council, Stewardship, Outreach, and other members of Grace have committed $24,160 toward the match!
This week, we invite you to consider how you’re being called to commit as well. On Sunday, we'll make our commitments together in worship. If you'd like to make your commitment online, please use the button below.
Then, be sure to join us on July 31st, as we celebrate the generosity of Grace and the exciting things God is doing here!
We’re excited to see where God will lead us as we pay off this debt and move into our next 100 years as Grace!
