Grace Lutheran Church

Summer Sunday School has started 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.

Youth in grades 6-12 are invited to a Photo Scavenger Hunt on Monday, June 30. Meet at 4:00 p.m. at the home of Zach and Adrienne Tilton, 712 88^th St., right across from the church parking lot. We’ll split into teams (probably by grade) and start looking for photos to take. For example, can you take a picture of your team with a person wearing a hard hat? We’ll end with pizza at the Tilton’s house and be done around 7:00 p.m. Invite your friends to this free event. Speak to Christi if you can be an adult driver for this event.

From now until Labor Day, there will be a box in the narthex for our SOCK and UNDERWEAR collection. We will collect all sizes of undergarments and socks to be distributed in the fall by the Community Mission and our city’s school nurses. ONLY NEW ITEMS CAN BE ACCEPTED. This is one of our most appreciated collections. Last summer we collected 272 items and they were distributed within a week! Please remember this project as you shop this summer. Your help is needed.

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.

Be sure to check your family mailbox, in the chapel area. The July-August Gleanings is published. 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.
