DRAMA?  Have a flair for the dramatic? Like to tap your toes? Grace Music and Worship Arts is more than just music ministry!!  Starting this Fall we will have a drama troupe and a liturgical dance troupe that will assist in sharing God's word through the performing arts. Looking for ages 12 to 112!!  Those who are interested should contact Ms. Kat at kat@graceumc.net.


Needed: 7th Graders and Up - Be Volunteers for the Hole in the Roof Gang! This vital program at Grace allows children with special needs to attend Grace Children’s programming such as Sunday School, Playful Praise, VBS and Children’s Choir. Our volunteer shepherds are paired with children to assist them in church activities so that they can be with their peers and fully experience Grace. Training will be provided for those who need it. If you desire to become part of this growing ministry, please e-mail Sharon Lyttle at shalyt@comcast.net.


Don't Forget - Adult and Youth Leadership Teams meet every second Sunday of the month at the Family Life Center in the Youth Room.

DON'T MISS OUT ON Sunday School for 6th-12th Grades 9:45 AM @ The Main Building

CALLING ALL KROGER SHOPPERS - Don't forget our Kroger Card Fundraiser!  Here's the scoop - The cost is $5 for each card and the card includes a $5 credit. We ask that shoppers pre-load the card each time they purchase groceries and before they check out. For every $100 spent on a card, $4 goes to the youth at Grace (and it costs you nothing but a minute of their time). These funds help to cover scholarship costs so deserving youth can participate in many of the activities that they might otherwise miss out on such as the quarterly retreats like "Warmth in Winter". Please contact Joann Jenkins at 773-8069 for cards!

DEVOZINE - Don't forget your Devozine!  These youth devotional magazines are written by teens, for teens.  See Ashlee or get yours in the entry areas at the main church building.
