Grace Church, please be mindful to keep our church clean and free of clutter. Let's make sure we leave area's cleaner than we found them. Clean up accumulated trash after worship, a meeting, or in the fellowship area. As a reminder, food and beverages are not allowed beyond the ramp and stairs. Let us all take responsibility and accountability to each other, the building and grounds, and practice good stewardship of that which God has given us.

Registration for the biblical counseling conference with Dr. John Street is now open.  This conference will be open to other area churches and there will be a cost. However, those attending Grace Church will receive a 35% discount: $24.25 for each individual  and $42 per couple. This is the early bird cost (September 1-30).

We are asking all the parents to send a picture of their preschool through college age "kid" and some information: Name, grade, school name, major/field of study (if applicable), and something about the student (something they enjoy, what they want to be when they grow up, etc). Please only share what you are comfortable being on the main board outside the worship center.

Please send information to, hknarr3@gmail.com or text to 330-931-7925.

We would like to get the bulletin board up in the first part of September, please send your information ASAP.
