After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing the link and additional information on joining the conversation.
Our new video capture system is simple to use, but we still need people to run it. Can you press buttons? Would you enjoy playing with the (optional) joystick? This is a great opportunity someone needing volunteer hours for school, or who is curious about video production, or who likes to sit in the balcony at church. Please contact pastornicolette@gmail.com for more information or to be added to the schedule.
Join our ECUMENICAL Bible study with Grace Lutheran Church on Tuesdays from 12:30 - 1:45 p.m. in person and online. Each week stands alone but fits into an overall theme. Our next focus will be: "God Frees and Redeems". We will study individual lessons with texts taken from Deuteronomy, Ezra, Matthew, John, Romans and Galatians. Extra participant books have been ordered so if you have not RSVP’d, it’s not too late to do so! Additional information is available by emailing the present teacher, Susan Pilshaw, at susan.pilshaw@verizon.net. If you are interested in joining us, please include, name, email, phone and mailing address to receive the study book. Peace, Susan Pilshaw
