Easter Baskets of Blessings
We need 18 more baskets!
Please bring your baskets to Grace by THIS SUNDAY!
|
Grace Lutheran is collecting baskets for the annual Easter Baskets of Blessings that will be given to the York County Council on Aging members. Click HERE to sign up. All baskets should be brought to the church Fellowship Hall NO LATER than THIS Sunday, April 3. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
These baskets should be filled with some of the following items; healthy snacks (applesauce, crackers, sugar free candy, granola bars etc) and toiletry/personal need products (lotions, shampoo, deodorant, wipes, toothpaste etc.) Feel free to add in extras as you see fit. You will need to place all the items in a basket or useful container (storage container, laundry basket etc), wrap them carefully to secure all products (clear cellophane works great), and attach a tag to the top of the basket with the person's name, gender, and route number clearly written.

If you have tools (brush trimmers, loppers, rakes and shovels) you can bring, that would help as well.

New Adult Sunday School Option - Conversation Class!
We now have a fourth option for adults during the Sunday School hour! Youth & Family has kicked off a 'conversation class' for those who would like to spend time together talking about the day's gospel reading, current events, and whatever else is on your mind and impacting your faith.
This class is based on weekly conversation materials, so if you miss a Sunday, you can jump right back in without missing a beat. Each Sunday is a fresh conversation with those who able to be there.
You do not have to be currently raising kids to be part of this class, though this is a great place to connect with other kid-raisers if you are.
Join us Sunday mornings at 10am in Room 108!
