Signs of Lent Like signs we see along the roads that tell us what to do, we see signs along the way on our Lenten journey that show us the way to Christ. In our Lenten worship this Wednesday, we are reminded that there is only One Way to God and only one name by which we can be saved. That Way and name is Jesus. Sunday we can look forward to keeping on the right path to leading a Christian life. Family Promise is a Go! The first week for Grace to host will be the week of May 13th. Please sign up to help with this program that helps show Christ’s love in tangible ways. Please contact Robin Gilbert or Elaine Botka for more information. Adult Instruction Class The Adult Instruction Class goes over the basic teachings of Christianity. There is an interest for a class. If you would like to be a part of this class, let Pastor know. Flowers on the Altar this morning are from the Knowles’ in honor of their daughter’s birthday.
During Lent we will be collecting donations for Military Bible Sticks. These are given free of charge to members of the Armed Forces. A sample of a Bible Stick is on display in the Narthex. If you would like to help support this project please make a donation to Grace with a memo for Faith Comes By Hearing. If you have questions please contact Debi Wendorf. The April through June Portals of Prayer are now available in the Narthex. Please take one for yourself and remember to take one for a friend or two! A Great Mission Opportunity! There is still much work to be done around the Houston area after the devastating Hurricane Harvey. If you would like to help now is your chance.
