Blessed to Be a Blessing Sunday

Update

      Our main theme this year is “Blessed to be a blessing”, which recalls God’s faithful promise to Abraham & Sarah.

“I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.            Genesis 12:2
 

     Thank you to all for participating in a wonderful Blessed to be a Blessing Sunday! Our speakers & Stewardship Chair, Carly Bauer, were inspirational and brunch was delicious!! We have so much to be grateful for at Grace and your support of this faith community is a huge blessing! To date, we’ve received 52 Pledge cards totaling $186,488 for 2026.  THANK YOU!  It’s not too late to return your pledge card and help Grace be confident in pursuing the ministries God is calling us into! Your estimate is a huge blessing to us in our faithful planning.

Join us for worship this Advent – Advent begins on Sunday, November 30th. We hope you will join us for this holy, hope-filled season.  Our Advent theme this year is: “What do you fear? Insisting on hope this Advent.”

     Hope and fear are interwoven in our lives. Every Advent, we light candles, sing carols, and pray for Christ’s coming because we believe God entered a frightened world to bring good news. We hold onto hope because we believe that Christ did come—that’s the promise of the season. Our hope is not flimsy or fleeting. It’s gritty, resilient, and can endure—no matter what we fear or face. This season, let us insist on hope and trust that good news is greater than fear.

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.
