The Outreach Cafe will be held this Sunday from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. Come enjoy some breakfast and have some conversation and leave knowing that 100% of your free will offering will be donated to these missions of our church: Veterans Path to Hope, the local food pantry, PADS homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County, and our mission church in Kenya. Thank you for the contributions of time, talent, and treasures from the people of Grace Lutheran Church and the financial donation from Thrivent Financial. None of this would be possible without your ongoing support.

New Member Meeting April 7th: Following the 9:30 am service on April 7th we will be having a new member meeting. The purpose of this meeting will be to share more about the ministries of Grace and answer any questions. For more information, please contact pastor@gracelutheran1.org

Food Pantry Volunteers Needed: Grace is a partner church with the Helping Hands Food Pantry in Spring Grove. In addition to paying a portion of their rent, we are responsible for providing volunteers every 5th month. We need volunteers for the month of April every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Sign up in our church narthex (lobby) or by contacting our church office.

There will be no Sunday School on Easter Sunday so that families can worship together for the entire service.

We will be hosting Easter breakfast again! This year's Easter breakfast will be held Sunday, March 31st, from 7:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.  All proceeds will be donated to the ministries of this church.
We are looking for help with dining room setup and food preparation on Saturday, March 30th, from 10:00 a.m. until we are done sometime in early to mid-afternoon. We are also seeking donations of baked goods and fruit on Easter morning, beginning around 7:00 a.m., and with kitchen and dining room help during Easter breakfast (food prep, running food and drinks from the kitchen to the dining room, wiping down tables and chairs between guests, washing dishes), and clean up afterward (putting items away, cleaning the kitchen and dining room, taking out the trash). If you are interested in helping in any way, there are sign-up sheets in the Narthex. Thank you!

Diapers for People in Need: Beginning March 1st through March 24th we will be collecting diapers and wipes for Keeping Families Covered.  Keeping Families Covered is a program in McHenry County that distributed 2 million diapers to people in need last year. Donations for people of all ages will be accepted. Cash donations are welcome as well.  Any questions please contact Childministry.

Confirmation and Sunday School Continue: Confirmation and Sunday School are now meeting each week. Sunday school during our 9:30am worship service and confirmation Wednesdays at 5:30pm.

Choir Meets Tuesday Nights at 7pm: Choir is open to people of all singing abilities over the age of 12. Please contact our choir director Tara if you have any questions.
