Grace

The whole family is welcome to join us as we sing, discuss and hear the story of a favorite carol; “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” We meet at 9am on Sunday in the Nina Larson Ministry House, directly south of the church.

Offering envelopes for the Watchcare Fund will be in the bulletin this Sunday. Please prayerfully consider what you may give as a gift to help people in and around our church with emergency funds. Make your check payable to: Grace Evangelical Covenant Church. Put Watchcare Fund on memo line. Thank you.

Get your change into your favorite team by Sunday. All proceeds will go to
helping the youth attend their summer trips, including CHIC. The donation
buckets will be in the basement hallway. We will announce the winning team a week from Sunday.

An advent devotional is available to help you celebrate the season. You can download it, or look for the flier in the back of the sanctuary.

As our congregation grows, the noise level in the sanctuary naturally rises.
May we be sensitiveto the worship experience of those around us by quieting ourselves once the service begins.
