COMMUNITY BLOOD DRIVE

The Blood Connection will donate $10 per donor to Grace Lutheran Church. This will help the local blood banks prepare for the increased need for donated blood during the holiday season and help Grace Lutheran Church continue to serve this community.

Walk-ins are welcome or schedule your donation at https://donate.thebloodconnection.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/251438

UPDATED 10/23/24
We delivered three carloads of winter coats, gloves, sweaters and scarves and more hygiene kits on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Relief workers at the distribution site said they need clotheslines and clothespins as well as insect-repellent spray. We are asking for monetary donations so we can purchase the needed items and ship them to the distribution site. You can donate at the church or give online here: https://givebutter.com/CvPrSe

HUGE CHURCH YARD SALE

The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when a Roman Catholic priest, Martin Luther, challenged some of the teachings of the church. It is not an exaggeration to suggest that the Reformation changed the world, but Luther didn’t want to start a new church. He wanted to make changes in Catholicism, the faith in which he had been ordained. But his suggestions were rejected and he was branded a heretic.

Here are some further resources about the Reformation, which we will celebrate this year at Grace Lutheran Church during our services on Sunday, Oct. 29.

Here are resources from our denomination, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

Resources from Lutheran Hour Ministries

Here are stories from The Post and Courier published in October, 2017 – the 500th anniversary of the Reformation

Through five water themed Bible lessons, we will experience together the soul-quenching grace that surrounds us in Jesus. Over our week together, we will explore our Biblical accounts through storytelling, snacks, crafts, and games that show us the overflowing grace of God in Jesus.
