Announcements

At Grace, our worship services are inspirational and our church family warm and friendly. Everyone is welcome.

“God’s Work, Our Hands” Sunday this year is on September 7. This year Grace Lutheran is planning a Baby Shower for that Sunday. Worshipers are asked to bring some kind of item that would be appropriate for a baby shower–diapers, wipes, lotions, shampoo, etc. These items will be made available at Ruth’s Pantry for distribution to the patrons who have babies and small children. Worshipers will be invited to participate in a small party following the service.

175th Anniversary. In October of 2025, Grace Lutheran will be celebrating 175 years since the congregation was first begun. The 175th Anniversary Book is nearing completion–hopefully it will be ready for the celebration on October 25. Orders for the book are being taken. If you would like to purchase your very own copy of the 175th Anniversary Book, please contact Kate at 920-379-4937 to place your order. Orders will be taken through the month of August. Mark your calendars for October 25 and plan to worship at Grace to experience the big celebration!

Sewing Circle: We are completing many quilts. If you are willing to share one or two Wednesday mornings a month to help assemble and tie Lutheran World Relief quilts, please check us out on one of our sewing days in our sewing room located at the southwest corner of the lower level of Grace. No experience or special abilities are needed!!! In addition, the sewing circle is always in need of new or used sheets or light-weight blankets to use in quilt assembly.

Lutheran World Relief: Quilts and personal care kits were assembled early in July. During the month of August we continue to assemble kits for Lutheran World Relief. Those kits will be blessed during a service in September. While we especially concentrate on school kits at the end of summer when school supplies are plentiful, supplies for kits can be brought to the church any time during the year.
