Join Us For Grace Beautification Day

Saturday, September 21

10 AM - 12 PM

Let's work together with Duke Lutheran students to beautify our church grounds.

Arrive at Duke Lutheran Center at 9 AM for a quick breakfast before we dive into the cleanup.

We'll provide lunch, bags, gloves, and rakes, but feel free to bring your own tools!

RSVP to Barbara Silvernail by September 1st and don't forget to let us know your T-shirt size. Your help makes a difference!

Parish Administrator Position Opening | After four years of faithful service to our congregation, Barbara Tippin has announced her retirement date of January 31, 2025. Although that seems in the distant future, we are beginning the recruitment process for Barb's "replacement". Pastor Brooks and I will be sorting resumes, conducting screening interviews and fielding questions. Second and third interviews will be with a small committee. If you are interested or know a suitable, talented individual looking for full-time employment, please have them contact me at (hr@gracelutheranchurch.net) for a copy of the job description or if you have any questions.

In His service, Kathy Peterson
