Worship and WOW
New Times for Worship May through October Two worship services, New times, Six months The Administrative Board, after congregational input (the surveys) and input
from other committees, voted to explore some different worship times. Begin-
ning May 3 Sundays at Grace: Sunday School 9:00 am; Worship 10:00 am;
Coffee 11:00 am
May 6 WOW Begins (Worship on Wednesdays) 5:30 pm
WOW will be come as you are (from school, work or to other church activities
or the ball field); 30 minutes of Praise, Sermon and Prayer.
We hope these worship opportunities will provide our faith community and
others with options for worship that will more readily work with the lives many
of us live today. Of course, you are welcome to come to both. Sermons
will be different and music will be led by a worship leader.
So come along, get to know some Grace members
and friends you might not have worshipped with
before. And most importantly, let’s praise God in
word and song.
Scholarships The Grace United Methodist Scholarship is available in
the office. Please turn in applications to the church office or Cassie
Brader by April 26th. The applicant must be a member of Grace United
Methodist Church and a graduating senior in high school.
To keep on schedule
of meeting on even
months, Ad Board
will meet Monday,
April 6th at 7:00.
Thank you to our Grace Family, along with
Pastor Cindy, for the blankets, first bibles,
