MARCH MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support LCMS Disaster Response. LERT team volunteers (Lutheran Emergency Response Teams) work in all areas of the country, aiding the victims of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, forest fires, and other disasters. These volunteers are trained to offer both material and spiritual support and often have “boots on the ground” within 24 hours of a disaster. If you would like to support our LCMS response to our brothers and sisters in Christ who are experiencing devastating events, please place your Mission Envelope in the offering plate or give online at www.gracenf.org to “Monthly Mission” during March.
CHOIR: Our next practice will be after worship next Sunday, March 13. Please meet in the balcony immediately after the service. New members are welcome!
SOCIAL MINISTRIES will meet in the chapel after worship two weeks from today on Sunday, March 20. Please mark your calendars.
Check out the Library! Found in the “Ladies Lounge”, Grace’s Library is ready for you to borrow books for home. These books are chosen to inspire your faith through biographies, fiction, devotions, and more! Titles will continue to be added weekly as resources from around the church are processed.
SIGN-UP FOR SIMPLE SUPPERS – The sign-up sheets for the simple suppers for the Wednesday evening Lent services are outside the sanctuary. There are five nights and you can sign up to provide a main dish, side dish, drinks or dessert. We are also looking for someone to sign up to help with the set-up and clean up each week.
BEYOND THE SURFACE Christian education continues this Wednesday, March 9th at 10:00am. We will be looking at the following verses: Jeremiah 26:8-15, Philippians 3:17-4:1, and Luke 13:31-35.
WEDNESDAY LENTEN SERVICE – March 9th @ 6:30PM
“Behold the Man!”
| On Wednesday, we remember how the man Jesus prayed to His Father and ours. He is our great High Priest, who even now prays for us! Through this series, it will become increasingly clear why God became man: He lived this physical life in order to be nailed to a cross. Thereby, we are truly preparing for the celebration of His real, bodily, flesh-and-blood resurrection. Behold the man, who has led the way for us through death to our own physical resurrection! |
