God of surprises, break through the life of Grace Church and its people. Reveal to us new ways we can be faithful and fruitful, moving into the future you have in store.

CONSECRATION SUNDAY AT GRACE

Sunday, March 22. was the culmination of our Stewardship campaign. After hearing part of Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth told by David Larson, hearing (and singing) musical “bangers” from Joe Severyn and Charis Weible (Here I Am Lord, All Good Gifts, I Surrender All, Be Thou My Vision, The Gift of Love), and hearing Pastor Steve’s message, “Planting Seeds of Faith”, we filled out cards showing our intention to give over the coming year and presented them before the altar. If you were unable to attend in person, you can watch it HERE on the Grace Church Dayton channel of YouTube.

CONSECRATION LUNCHEON

Following worship, those who could stayed for a celebratory luncheon catered by Dayton Cooks! Pastor Steve and Janet Yeazel, our financial secretary, gave the preliminary results of the campaign. Of the 35 giving units who responded on Sunday, 25 increased their pledges, and most of the remainder kept the same level of giving! This represents a wonderful response!

In case you were not able to attend Grace on Sunday, we have attached a pledge form HERE. You can print it out and return it to the church office by mail (1001 Harvard Blvd., Dayton, 45406) or in person. Thanks be to God for your generosity!

EASTER CHOIR

Yes, there will be a choir on Easter Sunday, and yes, your voice is needed! Please come to rehearsal on Wednesday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m. in the Ladies’ Parlor. All voices are welcome, even if you missed the first rehearsal. Join in, won’t you?
