Family Faith Night Resumes – Service Project Night!
Wednesday, April 12
As we get back into our normal rhythm of Family Faith Nights, take note of the following for this weeks’ service project:
- Meet at Grace for dinner at 6:00 pm.
- We’ll carpool to Discovery Park and meet in the front parking lot by the entrance around 6:30 pm.
- Come dressed for the outdoors and wear closed-toe shoes. We will be doing outside work, so wear things that can get dirty!
- Pick up is at Discovery Park (not Grace) at 8:00 pm. If individuals need to leave at our typical 7:30 pm time, that is also acceptable.
Looking forward to a great night of service together!
Can you Help with our Yard and Bake Sale?

We’ve announced that we’re hoping to host a yard and bake sale on Saturday, May 6. But before moving any further, we need to know if we have helpers and stuff to sell! Can you help with any of the following? Sign up in the narthex or online.
- Volunteer on Saturday, May 6 – we need floaters, money counters, and someone to help man Facebook Marketplace!
- Bake something to sell – we need cookies, bars, snacks and cinnamon rolls!
- Bring donations to sell – sign up in advance so we can advertise what we’ll have available.
- Bring plastic grocery bags into the church. There is a box in the narthex to collect so we have sacks for our customers.
Contact Melissa Booth or Connie Hoekstra if you have any questions!
