DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME THIS WEEKEND - A Reminder

This Saturday night, November 5th, is the day we set our clocks back one hour.

COMMUNION AND BENEVOLENCE SUNDAY

This Sunday we will have the opportunity to observe the Lord's Supper to commemorate the new covenant with our Savior through his death and resurrection that led to the forgiveness of our sins. We will also have  the opportunity to contribute to the Benevolence Fund here at Grace.   This fund exists to serve those within our church who are in need of temporary financial assistance.  Over the years, it has helped many in our community.

ADULT EDUCATION CLASS

The “Letter from James” Bible study Chapter 2, second half, will be held this Sunday, November 6th at 8:30 a.m. in the lower level of the south building.  The focus will be looking very carefully at the word “faith.”  The Apostle Paul clearly states we are saved by “faith, not works.”  But will any kind of faith do? Please join us on Sunday!

CARETAKER'S GROUP

The group will be meeting this Sunday, November 6th, at 4 p.m. in the south building, lower level. (NOTE: Change of meeting place!)
This group is for past, present, and future caregivers to share their need and offer one another support in their caregiving efforts.

FRIDAY MEN'S LUNCHEON

This Friday, the men will be meeting at Valley Inn, 1997 S. Wadsworth Blvd., at 11:30 a.m.

STAND SUNDAY, November 13th

A Look into the Foster Care and Adoption System

The purpose of Stand Sunday is to raise awareness of the needs of vulnerable children and families in our own communities who are touched by the foster care system. Stand Sunday ensures every local community has more than enough for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care. Together, we will all work to grow the power of Stand Sunday across the U.S. giving everyone the opportunity to never stand alone.

MEMBERSHIP CLASS COMING SOON

Pastor Nick will be conducting a Membership Class on Sunday, November 13th, following service from 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.  There will be a light lunch served and daycare will provided with an RSVP to the church offices or indicated on the Connection Card.  This class will discuss the benefits of membership in our church.  Discussions include:

• the mission of God in our midst,
• the mission of the Covenant denomination as a whole,
• the mission of our church specifically,
• the mission of a member.

There will be an opportunity to become a member at this class.  Please note on the Connection Card if you would like to attend.
