Join us this Wednesday, Feb. 22^nd at 7:00 P.M. for our Ash Wednesday Service.  We want to begin to prepare our hearts for this amazing season!

Since Monday Feb. 20th is a holiday (Presidents’ Day), we will be having a ‘Youth Over-nighter’ here at the Church tonight. We need parents’ permission slips signed and $10 per youth, if possible.  Please see Derek or Amanda for more information.

Derek will be attending a class in CA in March with the Master's Institute.  If you feel led to help out with his schooling expenses, you can write a check to Grace Church and earmark it “Derek’s Schooling.” Derek wishes to express his gratitude to everyone who has supported him thus far. Thank you and God bless you!

Taught by Aleta Webb. We are meeting on Tuesday mornings  from 10:00 to 11:30 A.M. in the Fireside Room.  Each lesson is self contained, so if you’re traveling, you won’t fall behind on study material. There are NO books to purchase and NO homework   assignments. If you have any questions, contact Robin Fuller or Aleta Webb.

Celebrate Recovery (a Christian program developed several years ago by Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church) emphasizes freedom and healing thru Christ for any of life’s hurts and hang-ups, promoting change. This is a step program based on the Beatitudes. Meet on Fridays: 6:00 – 9:00pm. For more information, Call Cathy Mast at 242-3170.

Meet Tuesday mornings  10:00 to 11:30 A.M. in the Fireside Room. Taught by Aleta Webb

The Study is based on an Aglow Study with added content that Aleta has learned through the years. Each lesson is self contained, so if you’re traveling, you won’t fall behind on study material. There are NO books to purchase and NO homework   assignments.

The first lesson is based around the 8^th chapter of ROMANS, so if you’d like to prepare by reading and meditating on this rich chapter of the Bible, that would be GREAT!

Please sign up today so we can have enough materials available for everyone. Invite a friend to come along!
