Confirmation Sunday
Confirmation Sunday is upon us! Next Sunday, May 31, two young men will be affirm the baptismal vows their parents’ made, thereby taking upon themselves the responsibility for their own faith. They will also “officially” join the church as voting members. Everyone is invited and encouraged to come to the worship service and celebrate this milestone in their lives. If that’s not a good enough reason, there will be a reception (with food) afterwards. Hope to see lots of you!
Typo in the Kroger Community Rewards handout
The handout that was handed out (is that redundant?) yesterday morning after church had a typo in it. You can register your Kroger Plus card via http://www.kroger.com or http://www.krogercommunityrewards.com (this is the URL that was supposed to be on the sheet and will be on those handed out next Sunday). You must login or create an account then go to My Account, then to the Community Rewards section on the right-hand side of the page. Make sure you search for “Grace…
Special Earth Day Focus
This Sunday both Sunday School (9:15 am) and Worship (10:30 am) will have a special Earth Day focus. Â Come learn to be better steward’s of God’s creation.
Holy Week activities
As Pastor Ruth stated in her message this morning, Holy Week starts out with some misplaced expectations as the shouts of “Hosanna!” will turn to “Crucify him!” in a matter of days, then to “Alleluia, He is risen!” shortly thereafter. A great deal to cram into one week. There is quite a bit going on at Grace UCC this Holy Week 2009. Thu, Apr 9 @ 6:00PM: Dinner in the “upper room” (okay, the fellowship hall) Thu, Apr 9 @…
Comparitive Religions: Islam
Most of what you’ve heard on TV about Islam probably isn’t true or only applies to a few on the lunatic fringe (every religion has them, including Christianity). For the next two Sundays, our adult Sunday School class will be studying Islam, what the Qu’ran really says and doesn’t say, and how Christianity and Islam are related. Join us at 9:15 in the Fellowship Hall.

Easter Vigil or Good Friday Service
As you may know, the Worship Board is attempting to determine if we should continue our tradition of an Easter Vigil (Maundy Thursday and Good Friday) or if we should begin a new tradition of a service Good Friday evening. Â This is your last week to voice your opinion. Â Please indicate your preference on the sign-up sheet in the Narthex by Sunday, March 8.
Grace UCC is on Facebook
I guess I neglected to mention there that we’ve created a Facebook group for our church. If you are on Facebook, feel free to drop by. I’ll try to create events in that group for special events at the church, so keep your eye on the events on the right-hand side of the page. The group is currently open to anyone (members, friends, the curious). Hopefully, we won’t get any abusive trolls there that would cause us to have to…
