GRACE NEWS
SEASON OF THE CROSS
Wednesday, February 18, begins the Season of the Cross! We begin
the 7 week journey to Calvary and the Empty Tomb! Pastor will lead
us in a special service in the sanctuary that night to turn our hearts
toward the Cross of Christ!

FRIENDSHIP CLASS PARTY

Friendship Class Party at 6PM on Saturday, February 21 at the FLC.
Please see Carolyn Johnson for more information.

ALABASTER OFFERING FEBRUARY 22

The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings
around the world. While we understand that the church consists of
the people of God and not a building , buildings erected for the
purpose of ministry help to provide a sense of permanence,
functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the
Church of the Nazarene intends to put down roots. Alabaster
funds help provide land for many Work and Witness projects, and
the entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land, and
construction of churches, schools, medical facilities , and homes for
missionaries and national workers.

GRACE FAMILY DAY

Sunday, March 29, is Family Day at Grace! Following the morning
worship service, a family picnic will be provided and the kids will
have an Easter Egg Hunt! Join us for this fun-filled family
event! You can bring your donations of wrapped candy and plastic
eggs through Sunday, March 22.

TITHE ENVELOPES
For your convenience, sets of offering envelopes are available at the
Connections Center.

LIFE GROUPS
