Willing to read to kids?
Earlier this summer, we announced that Grace Lutheran was looking for volunteers with thier Literacy Program. The aim of the Literacy Program is to provide free tutoring services to 1st and 2nd graders from neighboring schools who need support in reading.
We recently received word that they are still looking for more volunteers. Volunteers read one-on-one with children from 4:00 – 5:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year. Volunteers help as often as they like, and the program coordinators are willing to work around volunteers’ schedules. Volunteers can be 7th grade through 90+. If interested, contact Deb Holliday (563-299-2145) or Karen Woods (563-260-5846)
Welcome to the Flock, Brooks!
This weekend we added our newest saint to our family of faith! Congratulations to Brooks Sullivan who was baptized this weekend!
Kick Off Night for Family Faith Nights
Wednesday, August 31 @ 6pm @ Grace
Mark your calendars to join us for our kick off! Anyone involved in the elementary, youth, and/or adult groups are invited to come for our kick off night. We’ll jump start the night with a meal, and segue into some games/fellowship before breaking into separate groups. Each group will have some time to get oriented and share any pertinent information for the year. Parents of middle school/confirmation youth are expected to be at the kick-off to receive additional information about confirmation expectations. Following the Family Faith Night schedule, we will wrap up no later than 7:30 pm. Questions? Want more information? Talk to Pastor Aleese or Andy Christy.
Women’s Group
Saturday, August 13 @ 8:30 am
This summer our Women’s Group has been gathering under the theme “Crafted in Christ,” a three-month Bible study that’s used the concept of quilting to explore rest, renewal, and the Christian community. This month, we finish up our series by thinking about “ties” that bind us together. Together we’ll examine how God invites us to commit to a new way of life with God and with each other.
Haven’t been able to join us yet this summer? No problem! All are welcome! Take a peek at the study we’ll be doing together.
