Grace Lutheran Church

We give thanks to the staff of Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center for their participation in our Sunday School closing celebrations.

Morning Prayer service starts next week at 9:30 a.m. The service will consist of Scripture readings, a Sermon, and prayer. Coffee Fellowship will take place at 10:00am to provide opportunity for people attending the 10:30 a.m. Divine Service and the 9:30am Morning Prayer Service to enjoy time of fellowship. This schedule will run June 22-August 31. The Saturday Divine Service at 5:00pm continues throughout the year.

The summer coffee fellowship needs a coordinator. If willing to help out please contact the church office.

Sunday School closes this week and Summer Sunday School will start next week for Pre K through grade 4. After the Children’s Message in the Worship Service, Laura Lehning and Cathy Hoffman will take the children downstairs for Bible stories and other fun activities. The children will be returned to their parents before the service is over.

Bill and Connie Winter need a ride from the bus stop (near Old Country Buffet) to church this summer. They need to be picked up between 9:30 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. Please sign up with Christi if you can help once or twice this summer.

Needed: VBS Volunteers!

This summer’s VBS entitled Friendship Trek: Jesus, Our Forever Friend is scheduled for the week of July 21-25, and will be held in the evening, beginning with a simple supper at 5:30 and ending nightly at 8 pm. Anyone interested in helping us bring the wonderful word of God to the young people of our community please contact the church office at 283-1843 so we may contact you. Together we can make a difference. Registration forms can be found in the chapel or online.

Through you contributions to the mission fund at Grace, we reach out and support different missions locally, nationally, and international. Friends of Mercy is the special mission for the month of June. Friends of Mercy is a recognized service organization of the LCMS that provides aid and care to women and children fleeing genital mutilation, AIDS orphans, and Lutheran Hospice and Cancer society.

Be sure to check your family mailbox, in the chapel area. The June Gleanings is out. Also check out the church’s website. You can see a calendar of all the church happenings, read the sermons, request a prayer and read the announcements. Take a look! www.gracenf.org

Through the LCEF Joyful Response program our church can receive electronic payments directly from personal bank accounts or LCEF Steward Accounts. It is simple, safe, convenient, and stewardship-minded. This is a wonderful program to help you support the ministry of Grace Lutheran Church during the summer when you might be away camping. Interested? Talk to Jon Lehning.
