Fellowship at Grace takes many forms. We gather together after our Sunday service to greet one another and share coffee, juice and cookies. We have special programs where we work together to serve our community, beautify our church campus, and to celebrate special occasions. Come join us as we gather together to cheer one another's happinesses, support one another's sorrows, and rejoice in shared friendships.
All are invited to participate. Check the calendar on our Home page for times and dates of activities. More information is available in our monthly publication, GraceFull Visions. A link to that newsletter is also available on the Home page. Call the church office for additional information.
Friday Night at the Movies
Once a month we meet in Fellowship Hall to watch a movie - of course, popcorn and drinks are provided as well as other delicious goodies. This popular activity is enjoyed by all. It allows the young and the adults to have fun together.
Women's Circles
We have two women's circles at Grace that meet from September through June. The Martha Priscella Circle meets at members homes on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:30. The Elizabeth Circle meets in Fellowship Hall the 4th Thursday of each month at 1:00. Bible study, prayer, and fellowship is central at both circles. The ladies also have special outreach programs, including preparing layettes and health kits for Lutheran World Relief, making lap quilts for the home bound, and preparing receptions after funerals. These dedicated diciples are always ready to lend a hand to any community outreach project.
Exercise Class
Our enthusiastic exercizse group meets once a week during the winter months (September - June). They incorporate music and dance moves into their workout. Join them if your are a beginner or a pro, you will have loads of fun getting into shape.
Young at Heart
The Young at Heart is a group of men and women over 55. They meet monthly every second Thursday at noon at different restaurants for fellowship and a pleasent afternoon.
Gophers
The Gophers meet each Friday morning at 7:30 to lend a hand at keeping the church grounds beartiful and doing repairs on the church buildings. At 9:30 they break for devotions, coffee, and donuts. They generate funds by recycling paper and aluminum cans. They welcome all ages and anyone who is willing to lend a little elbow grease!
Holy Folders
The Holy Folders meet each Friday at 9:00 am to prepare the Sunday worship folder, compile the monthly newsletter, or assemble any other church related publication for distribution. This paper loving group is always happy to welcome new members.
