GRACE BOOK CLUB
Our book for November is "The Real James Herriot: A Memoir of My Father" by Jim Wight. We will meet in the Conference Room on November 4 at 10:00 am to discuss.
If you read the book and are interested in joining us, you are welcome! We have some wonderful group discussions.
CHANGE FOR CHANGE
For the months of November and December, our Change for Change donations will be used for The Giving Trees Ministry.
Drop off your coins, bills, or even checks to support this outreach ministry. Checks should be designated for outreach on the memo line. All money can be dropped into the offering plate.
What is the Giving Tree Ministry: Each year at Grace, we are blessed to share the joy and spirit of Christmas with children and youth receiving child welfare and foster care services by sponsoring Christmas Wish Lists for young lives. Additionally, we get the opportunity to spread warmth and compassion during the holiday season by collecting comfort items and assembling 120 blessing bags—along with other needed donations—for our neighbors in need and this year that is our neighbors supported by the Clay County Rescue Mission.
HOMELESS MINISTRY
"For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me." Matthew 25:34-36
"When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" Matthew 25:40
Thank you for caring about our community by donating to this worthy cause. In fact, you have helped over 80 homeless people so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
