We give thanks to God for the partnership of the ELCA World Hunger program! This year, we applied for and received a 3-year grant (2019-2021) from the ELCA World Hunger program to fund the salary of our Sunday morning social worker, Jeff Jirak, as well as fund up to four Sundays of pancake breakfast groceries.

Our community building goal for June is for people to attend the June 30 joint worship service, stay for fellowship, and talk with at least one person they don’t normally see at worship. 

We want to bring our community together on the fifth Sundays of the month, and on Sunday, June 30, we will worship together at ONE service at 9:30 am in the sanctuary. On the next fifth Sunday of the month, we will worship at 9:30 am in Hope Hall. Moving into the future, we will switch spaces back and forth but remain at the same time each fifth Sunday: 9:30 am.

The council hopes that, by worshiping together, we might bridge the two worshiping communities so that we get to know people who normally worship at the other service.

Here at Grace, we are participating in Tithe.ly to reduce the cost of online giving. To sign up, go to www.graceinthecity.com/donate. On the donations page of our website, you click on either one of the “give” buttons and then fill out the online form with either your credit card or bank account information. 

This program is similar to PayPal but less expensive and used only by churches. Thank you for giving to Grace! 

Thanks to our friends at Good Life RV for collecting and donating bicycles to people in need at Grace. Most of the donated bicycles are road ready. A special thanks to Lester, Grace Caretaker, for tuning up some of these bikes.

Please connect with Grace Lutheran Church if you have a bicycle that you would like to recycle.

During the month of June, Wilbur the pig welcomes monetary donations for Diaper Bags for foster families
licensed by Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest. Thank you for supporting the foster families in our community!
