Grace weekly

From the heart and desk of pastor maggie

Dear Church Family,

What a wonderful blessing our Annual Strawberry Dinner was for both our church and our community! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who volunteered their time, talents, and energy to make this year's event such a tremendous success. From preparing food and serving guests to welcoming friends and neighbors through our doors, your efforts continued a tradition that has blessed our community for generations.

As we celebrate this success, we also gather this week to remember our dear brother, John Steven Cooper. I encourage you to join us as we celebrate his life and support his family.

This Saturday is the Funeral Service

Viewing: 10am
Service: 11am
Interment: 11:30am
Luncheon: Immediately following in the Fellowship Hall

To help the Men of Grace provide hospitality for the Cooper family and their guests, please bring a side dish or dessert for the luncheon. Your kindness and generosity will be a meaningful expression of Christ's love.

This Sunday, we'll continue our Courageous Faith series exploring ways to demonstrate our trust in God. Together, we'll consider what it means to place confidence in God's promises and stand with assurance during the storms.

Thank you for being a church family that faithfully shares both burdens and blessings. Have a wonderful week.

-Pastor Maggie
