2. November Outdoor Worship on the Lawn

Sunday, November 15, 5-6 p.m., Grace Athletic Field

Let's gather together to worship and celebrate the Lord on the lawn! A link to song lyrics will be shared so that you can sing along with the worship band.

• Bring: water, picnic blankets and/or camp chairs to sit on (church is not providing any seating), and your facial coverings for moving about

• Physical Distancing Protocols: Facial coverings are required when you are unable to physically distance or while moving around (but not while seated for worship with your family).

3. Mark your Calendars for Christmas for the City

December 13

Each year in December, our congregation comes together for a one-day service project to support a Houston-based mission partner. During Grace’s Christmas for the City, we can live out our faith by giving our time, resources and love to serve others.

This year we are excited to continue our partnership with Kids' Meals Inc., a Houston based organization that makes and delivers free, healthy lunches directly to the homes of preschool age children who don’t have access to school-based free meal programs. Read more about Kids' Meals here. Our goal is to pack 10,000 bagged lunches for Kids' Meals!

How you can Help:

1. Purchase and decorate brown lunch bags and drop them at the Grace Welcome Center. (No stickers, please, because they fall off during delivery!)
2. Donate food items from our Amazon Wish List by Tuesday, December 1.
3. Register to volunteer for packing bags on December 13. Register HERE.
