The grounds around Grace have been looking nice this summer. Thank you to all those that have helped. There are still some weeks available if you would like to help keep Grace looking nice on the outside. The sign up sheet is on the bulletin board by the mailboxes. We have eight of the heavy, old, wooden eight-foot folding tables set up under the pavilion. We will no longer be using them here at Grace. Please help yourselves to them until they are gone.
