Crashing a fish fry with LGLC.
Fish Fry

   Join us at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Elkhorn (204th St. & W. Maple Rd.) on Friday, April 4 for their Lenten fish fry. 
  Let's hang with a few of our Catholic friends and have good time.  If you've never been to a fish fry, this classic Omaha experience is well worth it.
  We will meet near the end of the food line at 5:30 PM.  Show your Lutheran pride by wearing your Living Grace t-shirt.  This is also a great, casual event to bring a few new friends to meet some of the Living Grace crew. Cost is $8 per adult and kids ages 4-12 are $4.  If you plan to attend, please email Grant Mussman at [email protected].
  

Camp for kids at Carol Joy Holling.

Consider sending them to summer camp at Carol Joy Holling! There are many camp sessions and options available to choose from. For a list of camp sessions and more information, click here.   

    If your child would prefer to attend with a friend, we are putting together a list of dates that other families are interested in, and will attempt to coordinate some small groups to attend together.   Please contact Katy Nilsson at  [email protected] if you would like to add your name and dates to this list.  A limited number of Groupon's are also available for certain sessions.    

First Communion is in April.
    If you're in 5th or 6th grade, please join us for our First Communion class on Saturday, April 12 from 10:00 a.m. to Noon at Darcy and John Cottone's house. You'll have a great time connecting with your friends and learning about Holy Communion through games, video clips, and Bible study. This class will prepare you to receive Communion for the first time in our worship service on Sunday, April 13.

Tithe your tax return.

    Are you receiving an AWESOME amount for your tax return Tax Refund this year?  Perhaps you've got big plans for that money like saving it for a vacation, paying off some bills, or just spending it on something you like. 

  Why not show your gratitude to God for all the blessings he has given you and tithe a portion of your return.

   It's a great way to show some 'over and above' generosity and help build the different ministries of our church.  You may place a check in the offering plate on Sunday with the words "Tax Return Tithe" in the memo line, or donate it online through our website or by credit card on Sunday morning. 

   Thank you for all the ways you show your thanks to God through your generous financial support of Living Grace. 
Living Grace Directory.

    We are working on the Living Grace directory and will have a copy available at the name tag table this Sunday to review.  Stop by to confirm that the information we have on file is correct.  Please make any changes needed on the copies available.  If your family is not listed in the directory, please provide the information needed on the back of the copies and we will update our records.

    Once we have completed the revisions, we will email directory copies to members upon request.  If you have questions regarding the directory, please contact Katy Nilsson at [email protected].   

Popcorn and ramen noodles.

    Each month our Engage Team asks you to help fill the shelves of our local mission partner, Project Hope.  

  This month we are collecting popcorn and ramen noodles to help our community in need.  Please bring your donations on Sunday and place them in the bin located by the  name tag table.  This is such a wonderful way to engage with our community and to show God's love in a practical way.

    If you would like more information or would like to serve on our Engage Team, please contact Heather Abbott at [email protected].    
Dine & Dash with Pastor James.

     Are you looking to connect with others of Living Grace in a casual and quick way?  On Sunday, April 6, you can join Pastor James and members of Living Grace to grab a quick bite to eat after the worship service at Runza  (just south of 168th & Harrison St.).  There is no need to register and you may come and go as your schedule allows.  We all have to eat so why not join together for some fellowship while enjoying a quick lunch?   

    If you have questions or would like more information on this and other events at Living Grace, please contact our Director of Connections, Katy Nilsson, at (402)850-7124 or by email at  [email protected]
