Please take the time to read the thank you and look at the picture from Faith Comes By Hearing. It is by the mailboxes. Want to tell others you are happy to be a part of this congregation? Now you can order shirts, jackets, or other items with our Grace logo embroidered on them! The 75th anniversary committee decided to open an online store with a WIDE VARIETY of items in every price range. A link to the webstore is on glcdenison.org or you can go to it directly at: https://glcdenison.qbstores.com/.

Thrivent Financial, as part of their “Summer of Impact” campaign, is giving each member who logs in to their online account $50 to designate to their favorite charity! This is in addition to any other Choice Dollars you may have accumulated. You can designate this to go to any charity: Grace, LWML, LOMT/Camp Lone Star, or a host of other choices! The deadline is August 31, or whenever they run out of the 8 million Choice Dollars they have designated for this effort. All you have to do is log in to your Thrivent online account and designate the Choice Dollars however you wish. You can divide it between multiple charities if you wish. If you designate the monies to Grace and want them to be used for something special, please let us know. Put these dollars to work! If you have any questions, contact the church office and we will be glad to assist you.
