Sunday Class
Join us Sundays at Grace as a Participant or a Buddy!
Every Sunday at Grace we encourage those with physical or intellectual challenges to join us for Worship! We have a lift to help get everyone in to our Sanctuary. We spend some time together as a congregation in worship. Then we dismiss those that wish to join us for our "Image Bearers" class to gather for a lesson and crafts during the normal sermon time. Everyone is welcome each week starting at 10am!
We are in need of a few additional buddies to help with the Sunday Class in November and December. Reply to this email or watch for a separate email from Planning Center Services with sign-up sheet for classes (note: you do not need to sign-up in advance to attend the class, only to help as a buddy)
If you have questions contact Pastor Mark

Things happening in our area
- Sensory Friendly Trunk or Treat by The St. John's Ministry with Persons with Disabilities Join us on Sunday, October 25th from 4-5:30pm for an afternoon of trunk-or-treating, face painting, crafts, and games, all in a lower-sensory environment for individuals who need it. Siblings are always welcome, and you don't need to decorate a car to attend! Please share this with anyone who would benefit from a sensory-friendly Halloween event, or anyone who'd like to decorate a car for our trick-or-treaters. We're also collecting donations of candy, snacks, or pumpkins to paint. Please reach out with any questions or to RSVP. Warmly,
Nicole Bottino
