I know you are getting tired of seeing this. (I know I am.) Mowers are needed here at Grace. The sign up sheet is on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall! We have the equipment we just need the manpower. If you are willing to take a turn mowing, it would be greatly appreciated.

We would like to have a Grace team in the race.

Please contact Robin Gilbert or Benda Hantsche if you are interested.

It only takes five to make a team.

Movie Event One-time showing of the new Luther film at: CINEMARK SHERMAN SEPTEMBER 20TH at 6:30 pm This special screening is a chance to invite friends and neighbors to an event in a community setting.

This entertaining new film follows the adventure of Luther’s life, packed with political intrigue, kidnappings, and life-or-death showdowns. At the same time, it's a story about the most important questions of life, including "Who am I?" "What is my purpose" and "How do I get right with God?" It’s a must-see for any Lutheran, and a chance to share the message of your heritage with others.

IMPORTANT: All tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets can be purchased at a special web site set up for the screening: http://luthermovie.link/sherman You can also order tickets through the Church by contacting Pastor Mattil 903-465-1016 or Lindel Davis 903-815-2420.
