Grace Lutheran Church welcomes you to worship this
afternoon. Please fill out a visitor card, found in your welcome
bag or available from an usher, and place it in the offering
plate.
Grace gathers for worship at the Hayworth-Miller
Chapel, 108 East Kinderton Way, Advance, NC, Sunday mornings
at 8:30.
Holy Communion Those 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, are welcome at the Lord’s Table. Please let
the pastor know you wish to receive this gift of life by holding
out your open hands. Receive the bread, move to one of the
servers and dip the bread into the wine, then partake.
We encourage you to bring forward young children for a
blessing. The sign for a blessing is folded hands.
