This Week @ Grace Church: March 26 – April 1, 2023
LENTEN BREAKFAST UPDATE
All reports are in from the contributions at the Lenten Breakfast and the official total is $1,238.91!!!
TOTALLY AWESOME! Thank you to all who gave. You may recall we sent a $500 check to New Hope Ministries a few weeks ago. This week we gave a $500 contribution to the UMCOR project. Soon we’ll be sending the SOSA a check to support their programs. Our/your monies are being put to good use.
PEACE to all and praises to God Almighty for His never ending blessings on Grace church.
In HIS name we all serve. - Gary Wilkins
BUNNYFEST VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
BunnyFest will have several fun activities for children of our community and volunteers are still needed! You do not need child abuse clearances for this event. Here are the ways you can help: We do NOT need any plastic eggs.
1) Monetary donations to purchase the appropriate sized candy, prizes and items to fill the plastic eggs.
2) Lending us your pop up canopies, they help keep us out of the direct sun and protect the chocolate, as well as defining each game/activity area.
3) Assisting with setting up from 8a-9:30a. This involves moving tables, chairs and setting up the canopies.
4) Assisting with the children’s games/activities from 10a to Noon or Noon to 2p.
5) Clean-up which begins about 1:30p -1:45p; taking down canopies, returning tables and chairs to the church.
6) We’d like to provide a face painting area for the children, but in order to do this we really need more volunteers. This is a big "hit" with the children, so if you or anyone you know is a bit artistic please let us know.
Please contact Leslie Kocher @ 717-319-4755 or ldkocher57@gmail.com with any questions or you can use this link to sign up. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D45AFAE2AA1FDC34-bunnyfest Thank you!

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. The McCurdy Mission Trip has something for everyone! You need not be a professional electrician or carpenter to have something to do! (Case in point, even JASON has plenty to do on this trip each and every year). Youth under 12 need a parent to travel with them. The trip is open to anyone and everyone. This year, we’re also inviting youth from throughout our conference to learn how to plan and lead a mission trip! That’s right, YOUTH LEADING! We do plenty to help the ministry in Espanola and we also do plenty of sightseeing! We plan to have devotions each night and would love to have you come for this year’s adventure. For more info, please contact Jason or the office so we can add you to our information mailing list!
SUNDAY ALTAR FLOWER SPONSORSHIPS
We invite you to place flowers in the sanctuary in memory or honor of a loved one or in honor of a special occasion. If you’d like to sponsor the flowers during Sunday worship, please contact the office or click here.
