Grace Lutheran Church

Grace Ladies Annual Flea Market and Bake Sale is Saturday, October 13. This is the Ladies biggest fundraiser of the year. Donations of “good fleas” may be dropped off at the church starting the week of October 1.

Our nursery ministry has begun. Check out the nursery room at the bottom of the stairs. It looks great thanks to all your donations! We can always use more volunteers. As of now, we have enough volunteers that you would have to take a turn only once every 2-3 months. See Christi Gaertner with any questions.

Confirmation Classes are now held every Wednesday, from 7-8 p.m. This year the confirmation program is transitioning back to a group class setting. This class is for all 7-12 graders who have not yet made their confirmation.

Need a Bible? Concordia Publishing House Bibles are on sale now. They are perfect for Bible studies and gift-giving. For more information, look for the sign-up sheet in the chapel.

 Any high school males who would like to know more about seminary are invited to St. Louis, on January 19-21, 2008. Participants will attend chapel, classes and get to talk to students and professors. If you are interested contact Pastor Gaertner by September 30.

 We are seeking donations of pictures for our Anniversary Pictorial Directory, Pictures can be historical until now. Please turn them into the church office, and label your pictures with your name and number.
