Share Your Smile Today!
February Grace Families Newsletter
Need a reason to smile? Grace Families can help.

Our February Newsletter is packed full of goodness: events, resources, and opportunities to connect with families like yours, who are always ready to laugh, learn, and love.

You could say this is our "Love, Laughter & Lent" edition.

Enjoy!
Share Some Love!

More than ever, people need to know they are loved. Join your kids in making Valentine's Day special by sharing a plate-full of tasty treats or a fun family photo (like the one above!) with the people in your world. Need easy? Click below for sweet pre-made Valentines to print & share!

Monday Nights During Lent

Gather your family at 6pm each Monday night during Lent, beginning February 22nd, for active family devotions at Community of Grace on Facebook. Each week we will explore the season of Lent using one of our five senses. Supplies needed for these family devotions will be posted on Facebook before each gathering, so you can fully engage from home.

Hey, Kids! Try Not to Laugh!

Sunday LIVE! on February 21st will have kids through 5th Grade ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing)! Register by Friday Feb. 19th so the FunDash Crew can deliver supplies and smiles to your doorstep before this Zoom event begins at 11am. Brush up on your joke-telling skills, kids. We can't wait to giggle with you!
Family Time is an intentional effort to gather your household together each week, perhaps over a meal, to learn about the Bible and talk about faith. Parents are the heroes of Family Time!

Grace has curated a variety of resources for parents to use, including What's in the Bible? and Make Mealtime Family Time.
Twice monthly, a hosted Zoom event is offered for families to enjoy new videos in our series, along with games for everyone in your home to participate in.

Join us on Sunday Feb. 14 & 28 at 11am on Zoom! Email for link: [email protected]

Families of all ages are welcome!

Service of Hope and Comfort

No matter your age or what you have experienced this past year, you have undoubtedly experienced some kind of loss - and with it - some kind of grief.
 
This past year has been filled with struggles and dramatic changes for all of us regardless of our age. Kids have been forced to try to learn in new and often challenging ways without the same social and emotional supports that they are used to. Parents have had to adapt to juggling so many commitments in new ways. We all carry so much in this stressful and unpredictable world.
 
You and your family and friends are invited to join us in a service of hope and comfort on Wednesday, February 10th at 6PM on Community of Grace’s Facebook page. It is our hope that you would experience Christ’s nearness through Scripture and song and that he would comfort you with his presence.
Ash Wednesday

Join us for a special interactive prayer time on Wednesday, February 17th at 6pm on Community of Grace’s Facebook page. Have a small bowl of water handy as we remember God’s promises of forgiveness and new life. See you there!
Help Grace Serve Your Family Better!
