This Week @ Grace Church: June 4 – June 10, 2023
MEMBERSHIP INFO!
We have had so many visitors over the past several months. It has been very exciting. If anyone is interested in information on joining the church, we will put together a VERY BRIEF new member orientation that we can share with you on a Sunday morning. Membership is a personal choice and is absolutely NOT REQUIRED to be fully part of our fellowship. However, we also want to offer the opportunity for folks to take the next faithful step on their journey if they’d like to do so. For more information, please contact the church office or email Jason directly at jschwartzman@susumc.org.
LET’S JOURNEY TOGETHER! LEMOYNE’S COMMUNITY VBS!
We’re so excited to partner with Trinity Lutheran Church on Hummel Avenue to hold this year’s Vacation Bible School! Fittingly, our VBS theme this year is “Journey Together”. VBS will take place on Sunday evenings throughout July (beginning on July 9) from 6p to 7:30p at Memorial Park! We need PLENTY of volunteers to make this a success. Check out our VBS webpage at www.graceumlemoyne.org/vbs. There, you’ll be able to register students AND sign up to help or provide supplies.
LET’S WORSHIP OUTSIDE!!!
On July 30, we'll be worshipping outdoors at Memorial Park with our friends from Trinity Lutheran Church. Worship will begin at 9:30, just like it does here! We want this to be a community event. So, invite your friends and neighbors! Worship in the park!
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS BACKPACKS AND WATER BOTTLES!
It’s time to start planning our support for Washington Heights Elementary School students for the next school year! Backpacks and water bottles will be purchased with the donations received. If you wish to help with this project, please provide your donation by July 31ST. Please make sure you mark the envelope or check specifically for backpacks to ensure it’s deposited in the correct fund. Your donation is very much appreciated!! Questions? Feel free to contact Cindy Warner at 717.379.3274.
SUMMER OF FUN – BUT WE NEED YOU!
We have a block party, Vacation Bible School and a possible summer movie series to plan! We need a group of people who will help us do it. We’re estimating that we need a group of at least 10 people who can help plan some or all of these great events! NONE OF THIS can happen without you serving in ministry. Thank you so much for your constant generosity!
IT’S TIME FOR SUMMER CAMP
There are camps for every age group! Preschool (Mom and me, Dad and me, Grandparents and me) to young adults (post grad camp) and everything in between! Jason will co-direct a high school camp (Camp Splash), Michelle will host an adventure camp for high schoolers (Trailblazers) and there are plenty of elementary camps that we heartily endorse! Grace Church will provide $200 towards your week of summer camp, so register today at susumcamps.org or see our camp coordinator, Michelle Schwartzman, for more information!
IT’S MCCURDY TIME….ALMOST…
We’ll be returning to glorious Espanola, New Mexico this year to serve at McCurdy Ministries! This year’s trip dates will be August 5-12. We expect that we will be able to apply for and receive some grants. Without ANY assistance, the trip will cost approximately $900. We are hoping to make that number much less. There is something for everyone to do at McCurdy! I hope you’re able to join us this year. For more info, please contact Jason or the office so we can add you to our information mailing list!
