Lent II Luke 13
Patrick’s Secret
Lenten Soup Suppers
Let’s break bread together each coming Wednesday at 6:00 pm during Lent beginning on March 13th and continuing each Wednesday up to and including Wednesday April 10th. As usual, Grace togetherness can be counted upon to bring a side item to share such as fruit, a salad, veggies or a dessert. At 7:00 pm we will move into the sanctuary for worship together and to learn more of Jesus’ way to the cross and ultimately to our redemptive freedom. Check the Grace Newsletter for more details including how you can in share in this season of Lent.
Paper RecyclingIn the east parking lot of the church sits a paper recycling container, resembling a dumpster. Consider discarding any papers that you want to dispose of in this container.
“They suddenly recognized that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it.” — The Message Bible – 2 Corinthians 3:17

In-Depth Class on U.S.
Constitution at Grace
How much do you understand about the American Freedoms guaranteed to citizens like you and me?
Join your friends and neighbors for this highly-acclaimed 12-week course
on the Constitution. The course will be taught by Ricki Pepin a former employee of the FBI. She is a published author and international lecturer. Her primary passion is teaching citizens how to work together to restore America’s foundations.
To that end, she has been leading courses on the U.S. Constitution, in collaboration with the Institute on the Constitution, for over 17 years. Her ultimate desire is to bring a return to limited, Constitutional government where everyone has the FREEDOM to discover and walk out their own God-given destinies of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. In addition to her work with the Institute, she has published two books; God’s Health Plan–the Audacious Journey to a Better Life and The POWER of Hope.
The first class begins the first Sunday after Easter, April the 28th. Click HERE for schedule details and how to sign-up. Also find course outline on the “Small Groups” hot spot above.
