Connecting People to God's Grace

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Hello Grace Family!


I don't know about you, but that week just seemed to fly by! Check out the quick highlights below to see what's coming up this week.


QUICK HIGHLIGHTS


  • Tonight we have an open gym event sponsored by our Board for Family Nurture. Come an join us for GAMES and PIZZA! Doors open at 6 and the event runs until 8:30PM.
  • Christian Education Week kicks off with the whole school singing this Sunday at the 10:30 AM service. They do such an amazing job with some extra musicians mixed in. It's really cool when you can hear our entire student body raising their voices in unity to our Savior. Details for Sunday Singing :
  • PreK-8th grade will be singing at the 10:30 service on October, 20th.
  • We will meet in our classroom at 10:20am and walk in to sing.
  • Afterwards, your child will come sit with you in the pew.
  • Attire is generally something nice, but does not need to be fancy.
  • We invite everyone to stay, but if you are not staying for the entire service, please do not sit in the pews, but wait in the back.
  • Please exit the sanctuary quietly so to not disturb other worshipers and save conversations for the parking lot. Thank you!
  • The next big item for Christian Education Week is Grandparents Day on Monday, October 21st. If you haven't already RSVP'd for this event please do so HERE. Additional details about Grandparents Day can be found by Clicking Here. This day is one of the highlights of our year and we can't wait to share it with you!
  • For a brief overview on the rest of Christian Education Week Click Here.
  • We will need transportation for the Christian Education Celebration at ML. If you are willing/able to drive that day, please let your child's teacher know how many students you can transport. The event starts at 1PM so drivers will need to be at Grace around 12:30PM. It wraps up around 3:00PM so drivers would need to be at ML at 2:45PM. Thank you for considering helping in this way.
  • Titans on the Track is right around the corner. This is the main fundraiser for our Partners In Education group that puts on most of the events/activities that our students enjoy throughout the year.Check out this Titans on the Track Letter with details for the event.
  • Any easy way for people to give is through our online portal. To get your child registered, simply click on this link and follow the directions - https://glp.betterworld.org/campaigns/titans-track-2024/new-participant
