NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Acts 9:1-22, Revelation 5:8-14, and John 21: 1-14.
CHOIR: We will practice after worship next Sunday (5/4). We will be singing on May 11 (Mother’s Day).
TODAY is the last Sunday to use your APRIL MISSION ENVELOPES to support the construction of a new 25-bed WOMEN’S SHELTER in Niagara Falls, to be located in the Niagara Gospel Mission on Portage Road. This will be the first ever emergency shelter for women in Niagara Falls who are being trafficked, abused, or who find themselves unexpectedly homeless. Women will be able to receive clothing, food, and spiritual care in areas completely separate from the Mission’s existing men’s shelter. Demolition of various areas of the building is already underway in anticipation of construction beginning this year. Your donations will go directly toward construction costs. To donate, place your mission envelope in the offering plate or donate online under “monthly mission” by Wednesday (April 30).
REMINDER: If you are unable to attend worship on a particular Sunday, our services are live streamed on our YouTube channel. You can access them live or later in the week. There is a link on our web page (gracenf.org). THANK YOU to our tech team John Goodnick, Mark Binkley, and John Bahr for their faithful service each Sunday as they run and monitor the system and camera. Their dedication enables numerous people to view our worship remotely each week.
ATTENDANCE SHEETS found in the bulletin will assist us in making sure that all of our members are being cared for as needed during our vacancy. Please fill them out EACH WEEK and place them in the offering plate.
