1. Trunk or Treat

Sunday, October 24, 4:00 - 5:30 p.m., Grace athletic field parking lot 

Join us for trick or treating, candy, food (for a small fee) and fun! This is a terrific evening to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to share in some costume (not scary) fun.

We need more trunks... we can't have Trunk or Treat without trunks. Help us create a fun, safe night of Trick or Treating for kids by hosting a themed trunk. It is easy and fun! Our Children's Ministry team is happy to share ideas for quick, easy, fun trunks. Contact Johneice Haney at jhaney@gpch.org for trunk information. Register HERE for trunks and food.

Donate candy... we always need candy to help support those who host a trunk to share with those who attend. Please help with candy donations, there are “candy bins” in the Welcome Center or you may donate from the Amazon Wish List HERE.

2. A Grace Disguised-Grief Class

Starting Thursday, October 14

Whoever thought that grief would be described as grace? Anyone that has suffered loss knows that processing grief is very difficult. Grace is hosting our first Grace Disguised class where we will learn and share about the grief process, pray and enjoy fellowship together. This six-week class begins Thursday, October 14 at 6:00 p.m. in MTH 101. The book Grace Disguised by Jerry Sittser will be available for purchase for $10.00 at the first class or you can purchase directly from Amazon. For more information please contact Sandra Babcock at sbabcock@gpch.org

3. Hanging Out with Guys on a Thursday Night

(But it's okay, because it's for church)
Thursday, October 21, 4:30 - 7:00 p.m., Kirby Ice House-Memorial

Guys of all ages and stages, we’d love to meet you at Kirby Ice House-Memorial on Thursday, October 21 from 4:30-7:00 p.m. No agenda. No ice breakers. No sales pitch. No sign ups. Just enjoy some fellowship and meet other Grace members. This is simply a continued step in establishing an ongoing men’s ministry at Grace. Bring friends or co-workers, treat yourself to something and maybe play a little cornhole. For more information, contact Chris French.

Story of Grace - Stephanie Husmann

My Story

I first came to know about Clothed by Faith when a good friend of mine married the founder. I love that their vision is not only to provide clothing for those in need but to do it with dignity and share God's love at the same time….(read more of Stephanie’s story by clicking on the SERVE button below)
