The next three Sundays will focus on the theme “Living the Christian Life.� This is our chance to consider how good a job we are doing of managing the resources God has given us in our lives. As part of this series, you will have a chance to pledge your financial support for our shared ministry here at Grace in 2015. As you think about this, you might want to consider signing up to give to Grace through electronic deposits. Several of our members already use this option. This is a service we offer at no cost to you. If you are interested, please speak to Pastor about how you can sign up.
