The People of Grace
Continue to Pray
While Preparing to
Call a New Pastor
|
-
Pray for Pastor Bill
Harmon, the LCMS
Southeastern
District President,
as he receives the
nomination forms
from Grace and works
on preparing the
Call List.
-
Pray that God holds
us close in His
care, and draws all
of us nearer to Him
and to each other in
His name.
-
Pray that God would
lead Grace to ways
of becoming more
involved with our
surrounding
community.
-
Pray for the call
committee as they
facilitate the call
process.
-
Pray for God to
bless and to prepare
the way and the
heart of our future
pastor and his
family.

Beach Food Pantry
Thanksgiving
Collection
6 Week Countdown
|
|
This year for the
Thanksgiving
Collection I am
asking Grace members
to give a monetary
gift instead of
purchasing food. A
bag of food costs
about $36 including
the $10 gift card,
but any amount will
help as the Beach
Food Pantry is able
to purchase the
items at a reduced
price. Checks can be
written to Beach
Food Pantry and
given to Ann, or
donations can be
made on the website https://beachfoodpantry.org/give All
donations are due by
November 6th.
Thanks for your
help.
Ann Helwig
Looking Back:
Grace's 2021
donation amounts
were $660 in cash,
38 $10 gift cards,
and 224 lbs of food

to donate food, you

you.

LOOKING AHEAD:
Thanksgiving Potluck
Dinner

The Fellowship
Committee is looking
ahead to November
and Grace's Thanksgiving
Potluck Dinner. It
isn’t that far away!
In the past, the
meats were provided
by people who will
no longer be here
this
time. Soooooo... We
are looking for
someone willing to
bring the turkey.
If this is something
you would like to
do, please see Suzie
or Denise.
A sign-up sheet for
side dishes will be
available later in
October.

Can you volunteer
for the
Evangelism/Outreach
position or to be
the Property
Chairperson on
Grace's Council?
Please pray about
this opportunity and
ask Gary Funaiock
for details.
