Recap of God's Work. Our Hands. Sunday
Thank you to everyone that participated in the learning event on GWOH Sunday. It was a beautiful morning reflecting on the service that the people of Grace Lutheran have provided and a look at the future and what your Social Action committee has planned for you. The Social Action committee consists of Jamie Evans (chair), Jeff Meyer and Abby Patterson (council reps), Katie Janchel, Susan Hannam, Trish Radke, Kim Nordquist, and Jackie Krough. Please continue to read to learn more and about how to get involved.
GWOH T-shirts are here! If you ordered a T-shirt you can pick it up in the narthex. All T-shirts are labeled with your name on it. If you didn't order a T-shirt, but would still like one, please let Jamie Evans know as a few extras were ordered and we might have your size.
