Ninth Sunday after Pentecost August 16, 2015 We’re glad you’re here!
Please fill out a Family Registration Card with your Prayer Requests. Pass cards to the center aisle so the ushers can collect them. Children are welcome in the worship service. They are invited to the front for a children’s message in the Blended service. A nursery is provided for children 3 and under during the Sunday School and the Blended Service. The ushers will assist you in finding the nursery.

September 11 — 13 Confirmation Retreat September 16 Mid-Week and Confirmation September 20 Praise Team Practice Thought about ELECTRONIC GIVING? You can set up direct deposits of your offerings to the church account at NO COST TO YOU. It is a very convenient and secure way to support the ministry of our congregation. If you want more information or would like to set this up, contact the church office.
On the Last Sunday of August, we will have a Hymn / Song Sing. If you have a song that you would like to sing that is not in the hymnal let pastor know in advance. Grace is having a Church Picnic on Sunday, September 27th. We will have an outdoor service at 10:30 a.m. There will be no Early Service or Sunday School that day. This will be a Pot Luck (Men are not cooking for this one.) New Member Welcome will take place during the blended service.
Starting September 6, we will have communion every Sunday at both Services.
We are looking for wonderful people who are willing to serve as a PowerPoint Clicker during our worship services. There is an orange colored sign up sheet on the bulletin board next to the mailboxes. All training will be provided. Contact Pastor or Mont Taylor for more information.
Who has requested prayers? Who was that person I talked to after service? What’s going on at Grace this month?
Those are the types of questions that are easily answered if you join The Table! When you join, fill out your profile and share a picture of yourself, you are adding to the online church directory that is available instantly to other members...but don’t worry, it is not made public. It is only visible to members and regular attenders of Grace. It is also a great way to share information, prayer requests, ask for assistance, and more.

This week a letter was sent to the parents of those in 6th - 8th grades about Confirmation Class. If you have a child that you would like to enroll in Confirmation and you did not receive a letter, please speak to Pastor so that he can get the information to you. There will be a Confirmation Retreat September 11-13, and the first class will be held on September 16. We are looking forward to a great year!
