Blessed to Be a Blessing Sunday

Update

      Our main theme this year is “Blessed to be a blessing”, which recalls God’s faithful promise to Abraham & Sarah.

“I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.            Genesis 12:2
 

     Thank you to all for participating in a wonderful Blessed to be a Blessing Sunday! Our speakers & Stewardship Chair, Carly Bauer, were inspirational and brunch was delicious!! We have so much to be grateful for at Grace and your support of this faith community is a huge blessing! To date, we’ve received 49 Pledge cards totaling $177,888 for 2026.  THANK YOU!  It’s not too late to return your pledge card and help Grace be confident in pursuing the ministries God is calling us into! Your estimate is a huge blessing to us in our faithful planning.

In response to a question at the annual meeting…  If you want to make scheduled contributions to the church without using Simply Giving, that charges 2.75% on the amount of each donation, simply do online banking with your  financial institution.  You can select a frequency of weekly, monthly, or annual, along with the date of the transaction.  I’ve done this with my bank for more than 10 years without any fees.  It is quite easy & you can to make changes any time desired.  Last year Grace was charged more than $700 for donations through Simply Giving. Feel free to reach out to me at Council President, Kurt Meyers with questions or concern.
