Welcome to our Visitors!
Grace Lutheran Church welcomes you as you join us in worship
this morning. Please fill out a visitor card, available from an usher,
and place it in the offering plate today. We are happy that you are
here and desire to get to know you better. If you have questions or
are interested in hearing about membership, please see Pastor
Ryman or contact him using the information on the front of this
bulletin.
Holy Communion
All are welcome to receive the Lord’s Body and Blood who are
baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is truly
present in, with, and under the forms of bread and wine for the
forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. We encourage young
children be brought forward for a blessing.
