Hello Ladies of Grace,
Our November 19th meeting was a success. Even tho the weather was snowy, 17 ladies showed up and we made 10 blankets for Grace's shut-ins. Some of the ladies are going to take what they learned and make some gifts for family and friends!
We will be having a cookie walk on Saturday, December 17th. Please bring 2 dozen cookies or candy. We will be sharing these treats with each other and with our shut-ins.
We are hoping in the coming months, to have guest speakers to come and talk to us about new items like cooking, gardening, health, etc… If you would like to have someone come and talk about something that you have an interest in just let us know.
We would love to have all of the Ladies of Grace join us for this new group. A time for getting know each other, laugh and help each other.

This is your church! We have resumed the practice of having greeters at our services. Greeters are to offer a friendly welcome to worshipers at our services. There are many times during the year when the church needs your help. Please consider helping with one or more of the following tasks:
Greeting
Cutting the grass or shoveling snow
Helping with Sunday or Vacation Bible School
Being on a committee
Cleaning the church
Being an usher
If you are interested in any of these areas, please let Pastor Franzo know!

We are observing some special guidelines until further restrictions are lifted. Generally, only three or four people who are not from the same household will be seated in each pew, to maintain six-foot buffers as best we can.
Please note these additional items:
*If you have a fever or feel ill, please refrain from attending church services.
*Hand sanitizer will be available in several locations in the church.
*Should you desire a personal devotion and/or communion, Pastor Franzo would be happy to arrange this with you.
Another option is to watch the Time of Grace broadcast on Sundays on WKBT, Channel 8, at 7AM or on WKBT Channel 8.2, at 1:00 PM.
