January 25th 2026, Grace Notes

500th WORSHIP SERVICE
On February 1st, at 2:00 PM, we will celebrate
our 500th Worship Service as a congregation!
(This will be the only worship service on
that date, we will not be meeting at 10:00,
as is customary.) We sincerely hope that
everyone will be present in worship on this very
special day to mark the auspicious occasion! We
will welcome to the pulpit our own NALC Bishop,
Dan Selbo, who will preach that day and look
forward to greeting former Grace pastors who have
served, and helped to establish, this congregation
from the very beginning. Following the Divine
Service, a reception will be held in the Fellowship
Hall; you’re invited to enjoy a light meal, visit, catch
up, and thank God for his faithfulness over these
past ten years!

CHOIR CLUB
Choir Club has resumed their weekly meetings. 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. Please
consider adding this opportunity to your weekly schedule,
Thursdays, 6:30 -7:15 PM, all are welcome!
FOOD PANTRY HELP

Our outdoor FREE FOOD PANTRY is in need of more non-

fruit cups are among the most frequently consumed products, but
any contributions will be greatly appreciated.
