Ladies Bible Study will be held Wed, Feb 11 at 11 AM in the church fellowship hall. We are currently studying "Extraordinary Women of the Bible." This month we will learn about Bathsheba, whose resilience and faith grew in the midst of suffering and scandal. Read 2 Samuel 11. A potluck luncheon follows. All women are welcome to join us. Contact Kay Parker Clark, 817-307-8405 for more information. Pastor’s Sunday morning Bible Class is working through the book of Ephesians! All are welcome to join us. Pastor is also planning to offer an Adult Instruction Class for those who wish to become members of Grace or simply want to know more about the teachings of the Lutheran Church. This class will take place March 6 & 7. Please let Pastor know if you are planning to attend.
We have a second printing of our 2015 Membership Directory— revision 1! This revision includes both members and regular attendees. We have also made the changes/corrections that were submitted. Copies are available at the Welcome Center in the foyer/narthex of the Church. Please inform the church office of any additional corrections/additions/changes.
Some of your pictures on our photo board in the Narthex are outdated or missing altogether! Jane and Gorlyn Bronstad will be taking photos of our members and regular attendees every Sunday from today through March 1. If yours is outdated, or we don’t have your picture on the board, come to the Grace Library (on the west end of the Fellowship Hall) after either service to have your picture taken.
Contribution reports for 2014 have been printed and placed in your mailboxes here at Grace. Those not picked up by today will be mailed. Save us some postage and pick yours up today! Church Council will meet next Sunday, February 15th following the late service. Please make arrangements to attend.
Parent’s Night Out Want a date night on Valentine’s Day? Grace is having a Parents Night Out on February 14 from 5:30—8:00 p.m. Please sign up on the bulletin board or RSVP to Kayla.
We have a SMALL number of dedicated volunteers that run our PowerPoint presentations that project the service onto the screen during our worship services. We are looking for some others who will help out. The PowerPoint presentation is created by Pastor during the week. All you need to do is show up and run it during the service. It is easy to do and any training you need will be provided. There is an orange colored sign up sheet on the bulletin board next to the mailboxes. Please consider helping here at Grace in this way.
