THIS WEEKEND’S ALTAR FLOWERS

Altar flowers by JJ Stewart, in honor of her granddaughter, Juliet Francis Holodak, born on the 10th of February in Portland, Oregon to Jesse and Gerard Holodak.

 

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING RESCHEDULED!

We’ll be collecting nonperishable food donations for distribution to New Hope Ministries THIS SUNDAY!! Thanks for supporting New Hope Ministries here in Lemoyne!

 

TOWN HALL MEETING RESHEDULED!

To continually communicate with the congregation, we’re planning to hold quarterly town hall meetings. These meetings will take place immediately after worship and are completely optional. There will be no “worship activities” during these. We’ll discuss what’s happening in the life of the church and give you an opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions or seek further clarification on items. Our first town hall will take place THIS SUNDAY, February 16th. Town Hall meetings will last no longer than 1 hour because the Nepalese Church comes in on Sunday afternoons. We’re excited to share all the great things happening at Grace!

 

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE – MARCH 5th @ 7pm!

We'll be joining other churches in the Mechanicsburg cluster on Ash Wednesday! The service is 7pm at Shepherdstown Church, 1934 S York St, Mechanicsburg. Each pastor from the cluster will participate and Jason will be preaching. In addition, there will be a combined choir singing at the service! If you are interested in singing, there’s only ONE practice at 6pm...an hour before the service at Shepherdstown. Let's add a little Grace Notes to this community choir!

 

WOMEN’S BREAKFAST

All are welcome at 9am, February 18th, at Yankee Doodle Restaurant, Wormleysburg.

 

MEN’S BREAKFAST

Gentlemen, please join us at 9am, March 11th, at Cedar Cliff Diner.

 

MUSCLE NEEDED!

After worship on March 2nd, we could use some muscle moving items out of the Parlor. Please connect with Tony Barr to confirm your commitment to help. Thank you!

MIDWEEK SERVICES WITH TRINITY! 

We'll once again be joining with Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church for midweek (Thursday) Lenten services. We’ll be exploring the Parables of Jesus. Services will begin at 7p and there will be a meal beginning at 5:30p. We’ll begin on March 13th at Trinity. Grace will host two services, March 20th and April 3rd. We’re in need of volunteers to help provide a small, simple dinner on our two host nights. Please contact Jason or the church office if you can help with that. Thank you!
