Friends of Grace,

A week ago, we signed a contract to move forward on the playground at Seeds of Grace. We were supposed to break ground this past Monday, but a mallard laid her eggs and according to state law you can't disturb the nest. It's a good law, and also just the way things go at Grace Lutheran Church. It made me finally see a pun in the statement: "The best laid plans of mice and men." Here's the thing, in my time at Grace there is always something unique that comes up, some sort of new obstacle to consider or alternative path to take, and I have come to recognize this is God's great sense of humor and God's work through us at Grace. I don't know what will come from this change in plans, but I know something beautiful will occur. I just have to be patient and wait.

But while we wait, we are going to celebrate! Because God has been at work in the ministry of Grace. Our last year, was one filled with construction dust, paint brushes, paint cans, furniture moving and incredible volunteers, renewed relationships, new members and most importantly God's Spirit. This Sunday, May 4th, we are celebrating the work of God through the ministries of Grace. This happens in many and various ways: the work of our ministry teams, the abundance of food and donations we received for our food drive, the compassion and connections made between people. For all of this we give thanks. Join us as we celebrate together all that God has done. Our celebration will be at all of our worship services: 8:30am, 10:15am Sunday and 7pm on Wednesday. Following each worship will be a short congregational meeting to vote on new vision board members and receive updates about our life at Grace.

Blessings,

Pastor Joanna Mitchell
