Starting Sunday at 9am - Grace House Task Force Presentations | You're invited to join the Grace House Task Force on June 7, 14, and 21 at 9am in the fellowship hall. The Task Force will be presenting their findings and recommendations each of these weeks. This is an opportunity for you to learn more and ask questions in preparation for the congregation votes on the future use of the Grace House. 

Intentional Invite: Game Night Friday, June 12 at 7pm! (Hot Dogs at 6:30!) | This month's Intentional Invite is a Game night scheduled for June 12th at 7pm. We encourage you to give an invitation to someone that might join you for the evening of fun! Come early at 6:30pm for Hot Dogs and all the fixins' grilled by Walt and Dede Crosmer. Intentional Invites are opportunities set aside for us to not only gather in fellowship, but also welcome guests to join us in a lighthearted atmosphere! We look forward to seeing you and a friend there! Read all about it here.

ESL - English classes at Grace are scheduled each Tuesday from 7-8pm throughout the month of June! | Along with learning and practicing English we get to study scripture and pray together each week. In the first week we discussed 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you". Just as the students took time to reflect on this verse, I encourage you to as well. What a blessing it is that we do not carry our burdens alone - Christ came to lift these burdens from our shoulders and take them upon his own because he loves and cares for us! You are invited to attend these classes as a conversation partner. This would be an opportunity to get to know the students personally and serve your neighbor just as Christ has called us to do. If you are interested in attending future classes, just one or multiple, contact Deaconess Anna.
