February 4, 2024
Today is Grace Lutheran Church’s 400th Sunday service! We give thanks to God for blessing our mission to proclaim the grace of Christ in Word and Sacrament for so long, and we rely on Him to bless us with many more Sundays to come.

Lenten Book Study
● Our annual Lenten Book Study will meet on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM on Feb 20 and 27 and March 5, 12 and 19. We will be reading selected passages from Johann Gerhard’s Handbook of Consolations. If you plan to attend and would like a copy of the book, please sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board. We hope everyone will join the discussion!
Non-Perishables Needed!
● Our Pantry Box, located outside the lower entrance, is being used; that’s a good thing! However, to keep it stocked, non-perishables are desperately needed! Please help to keep it available by bringing any of the following: canned meats, canned vegetables, fruit cups, instant oatmeal packets, granola bars and the like. Your gifts have a huge impact on our local community.
Disciples in Service
● It is time to make the Disciples in Service schedule for March through May. Please consider how your time and talents can support our congregation. Complete the form on the back by Sunday, February 4 if you are willing to serve in any of these roles. Thank you.
