AltarCircle: Members will meet at 10:30 on Thursday , March 25th to clean the sacristy and polish the silver and brass. Anyone who would like to help with this should bring cleaning supplies. Also bring a sandwich for lunch. Dessert and coffee will be finished.
Preschool: During the month of March you will find the children learning the letters S,T,U and V. We will continue to work on the numbers 6-10. We will also be celebrating Dr. Suess’ Birthday. He is one of our favorite authors, born March 2, 1904. He wrote such classics as The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, Oh, The Places You’ll Go.
We are anxiously waiting spring and keep looking for that first robin to show up. The tulips are trying to pop up so it is coming.
On Thursday March 11th we are taking a field trip to West Side Gymnastics in Copley. It will give the children a chance to run off some of their energy.
On Wednesday the 17th we will be dressed in green for our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. Dancing to Irish music and eating a green snack will round out our celebration.
We will be celebrating Holy Week and preparing for Easter the week of March 29. Our Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be on Thursday April 1. We will be on Spring Break April 2-11.
We have several families registered for next year.

Sunday morning (9:15 a.m.) Bible Study and coffee: We gather a bit earlier with mugs in hand (coffee provided). Greeting each other in the Lord, we dig into the theology of the assigned Readings for the morning’s Service and associated Scripture texts. This is an excellent preparation for being “doers” and “hearers” of the Word in the Divine Service about to be celebrated.
Wednesday evening(7:00 p.m.) Conversation and Inquiry; Christian belief & practice: We refresh our faith delving deeply into the reasons Christians (Lutherans) believe and do what they do. This is an excellent opportunity to invite and bring along a friend or family member who have questions about the Christian faith and the church’s worship, as well as differences existing in broader “Christendom” or even among the congregations of our Synod.
Thursday afternoon (5:00 p.m.) Christian Education Class: A walk through Luther’s catechism for those seeking reception into Grace’s fellowship and communion. Employing the six chief parts of the Small Catechism we delve deeply into the central Christian doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone in order to apprehend the answer to the questions, “What is the gospel?” and “What does this mean?”
