TEN YEARS
On January 10, 2016, Grace Lutheran Church held its first worship service as a brand-new
mission congregation of the NALC at Hayworth-Miller Kinderton Chapel. By the Grace of
God and the power of the Holy Spirit Grace continues to live by its mission statement:
Proclaiming the grace of Christ in Word and Sacrament and observes this auspicious
anniversary today. Thanks be to God!
THE CHRISMON TREE
The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “monogram”, depicted as
symbols of Christ. The colors of gold and white reflect His majesty and purity. Among these
symbols are six Resurrection Butterflies placed in memory of Miriam Voigt, Judy Hinrichs,
Leland Bailey, Sally Williams, Billie Kirkman and John Lindler; those Saints who’ve gone
before us and now rest eternally with our Lord and Savior.
CHOIR CLUB
Choir Club is back on Thursdays from 6:30 – 7:15 PM. This is a fun and educational time to
familiarize yourself with the upcoming hymns for Sunday’s worship service and learn the
history behind the chosen hymns, their hymn writers and their connection to the liturgy.
Consider adding this opportunity to your weekly schedule, all are welcome!
