Artwork for Christmas Bulletins
Grace Church is again inviting members of the parish to submit original artwork depicting the nativity for us to share in worship bulletins and on social media during the Christmas season. We would love to feature art by adults, youth, and children of the parish.
Please use colored pencils, paint, crayons, pencil, or markers to draw a nativity scene on a piece of paper that can be scanned. (Photos of artwork may not reproduce as well in the bulletin.) Include your name and, for children and youth, your age/or grade so we can properly credit our artists!
Artwork must be submitted by Sunday, December 15 to be included in one of the service bulletins, late entries may be shared on social media. Give artwork to Fr. Brandon during Christian Education on Sundays, bring it to the parish office, or scan (at 300 dpi or higher and saved as a .jpeg image or .pdf file) and email it to Jennifer Williams.
Wednesday Eucharist
There is no 12 PM Eucharist on Wednesday, November 27.
Parish Office
The parish office will be closed on November 27 & 28. Happy Thanksgiving from the staff and clergy!
Christian Education
Christian Education classes for children, youth, and adults will meet from 9:30 – 10:30 AM most Sundays until May 4. Classes will not meet December 1 or 29, January 19, or February 16.
Christmas Eve Prelude
Inviting all young musicians to play a piece for our family Christmas Eve service at 4:00 PM. It has been tradition for children or youth to play a Christmas piece as part of the musical prelude for that service. This may be on whatever instrument your young musician is currently studying.
Please email Lynn Swanson by Monday, December 16: 1) your musician’s name, 2) title of the piece, 3) composer/arranger. It’s preferred that the piece is sacred, but it is not a requirement.
Christmas Flowers & Greenery
Beautiful flowers and greenery enhance our celebration of The Nativity of Our Lord at Grace Church, and you can help make that celebration special. Contributions to our Christmas flower and greenery fund may be made in thanksgiving for or in memory of loved ones, friends and family. Notice of your donation will be included in the worship bulletin on Christmas Eve.
If you would like to make an offering, please submit both the online form and your donation ($50 suggested minimum) by Sunday, December 15.
