Blessed to Be a Blessing Sunday is Coming!
Our main theme this year is “Blessed to be a blessing”, which recalls God’s faithful promise to Abraham & Sarah.
Soon, you should receive a letter inviting you to prayerfully consider joining us for our Blessed to Be a Blessing Sunday. At this important event, we’ll enjoy a combined morning worship service at 9:30am and the opportunity to make our financial stewardship commitment for 2026. Following worship, a Celebration Breakfast will be served in the Social Hall.
It’s important that you RSVP for the breakfast, so we can prepare properly. Please do so by Oct. 12, by calling or emailing the church office at 610-948-3684 or gracelutrn@verizon.net, or by putting the RSVP slip in the offering plate during worship on 10/12.
As we prepare for our Blessed to Be a Blessing Sunday, may our commitments of stewardship overflow with joy and gratitude, as we give back from the abundance God has given us. Thank you for your continued faithful support of Grace’s ministries. We can’t wait to see you on October 19th at the 9:30am worship, to share our blessings and gratitude for God’s faithful promises.

In response to a question at the annual meeting… If you want to make scheduled contributions to the church without using Simply Giving, that charges 2.75% on the amount of each donation, simply do online banking with your financial institution. You can select a frequency of weekly, monthly, or annual, along with the date of the transaction. I’ve done this with my bank for more than 10 years without any fees. It is quite easy & you can to make changes any time desired. Last year Grace was charged more than $700 for donations through Simply Giving. Feel free to reach out to me at Council President, Kurt Meyers with questions or concern.
