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 April every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

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 beginning this Sunday. Thank you!
Midweek Lenten Bible Study: Join us for our bible study called Promises at the Crossroads of History and Hope.

Diapers for People in Need: Beginning March 1st through March 24th we will be collecting diapers and wipes for Keeping Families Covered.

Cash donations are welcome as well. Any questions please contact Childministry.

Anyone willing to take on a third Sunday, please contact the church office.
