COFFEE FELLOWSHIP: Everyone is invited to enjoy a treat in the chapel after worship whileyou visit with your friends at Grace. Coffee Hour will continue through August. Please join us!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: On July 26, we will celebrate our Grace members who have or will turn 80 or older during 2026. Plan to invite your families and friends to worship that day and join us for coffee hour after worship. We will enjoy a piece of birthday cake as we congratulate our “oldies but goodies”, one of which will be turning 101 years young this summer!
JULY MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support the Niagara Falls Lord’s Day Dinners. The founders of this mission, Yvonne and Matt Davis, provide free holiday meals to those in need at the VFW Post on Seneca Avenue. But they don’t limit their service to holidays only. Anyone who is hungry can knock on their Ashland Avenue home’s side window at any time and they will receive food to eat. They have been doing this for over thirty years, and they are funded strictly by donations. If you would like to help them with this mission, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during July or donate online under “monthly mission”.
JULY BIRTHDAY LISTS have been posted at the narthex and parking lot entrances. Check out the list and join in offering birthday wishes and blessings to your fellow members at Grace.
SUMMER MISSION PROJECT: Tables have been set up in the chapel and narthex to receive donations to our annual collection of school supplies and children’s underwear and socks. Approximately 80% of the children in our inner city schools are living at the poverty level, making it difficult for parents to provide adequate supplies needed for successful learning. Needed supplies include (but are not limited to) notebooks, folders, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, pens & pencils, scissors, and erasers. We also accept donations of socks and underwear, items that our children often go without because their family budgets cannot afford them. All donations will be distributed directly to students in need by teachers and school nurses in September.
