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 to yield to the Father’s will for us in our lives, just as Jesus yielded to his will when he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Not my will, but yours be done.” Next Sunday we will look at what the Stop sign has to say to us during Lent. 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.
Do you need a scholarship? We are now accepting applications for the LevaWhiting Scholarship and the Grace Church Work Scholarship. If you are interested, the church office has the guidelines and applications. Deadline for applying is Sunday, May 13th.
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. Sojourners Bible Study Group will meet Tuesday March 13 at 10:00 a.m. If you have questions please contact Gorlyn Bronstad. 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. A group will be leaving for Trinity Lutheran in Klein, TX March 25th and returning March 29th. If you are older than 14 you are welcome to help. A member of Grace has graciously offered to cover the $20 per day fee for each person attending. If you are interested please contact Josh Velten or Lindel Davis.
