All-Ages GAME DAY – Sunday, June 8th at 10:15am
Everyone is invited to join us for an all-ages Family FUN Game Day on Sunday, June 8th right after church in the Fellowship Hall! A pizza lunch will be provided! Free and open to all! Hosted by the Christian Education Committee.
LUNCH, LAUGH, & LEARN – Thursday May 29th at 11:30am!
Grace is “expanding the tent” of our LLL series. Members and friends of all ages are invited to cultivate faith with a lively program on God & gardening. Join us for a virtual garden-walk of peonies; lunch; fellowship; and shared worship. Presentation: “Consider the (Peonies) of the Field…” with Nate and Kim Bremer.
Enjoy a lively program on the peony- one of today’s most beloved flowers. Lift your spirit with images of beautiful peonies, including rare, new, and historic varieties. Explore the amazing array of peony types, forms, and colors, including new introductions from the Solaris hybridizing program. Discover how our own midwestern and Wisconsin hybridizers have impacted the peony world. Plus, learn how Grace members, Nate and Kim Bremer, cultivated an internationally known specialty peony business from a small family daylily farm, sparked by a chance encounter with Manitowoc plantsman, Bill Seidl. A short Q & A discussion will follow.
Sign Up at the Information Desk to reserve your spot for lunch by Sunday, May 25. Or call the church office at 920-553-1222.
MOON BEACH RETREAT ~ August 15-17th Join us on the beautiful shoreline of Moon Lake for our all-church retreat at Moon Beach camp this year in August! While we’ve normally gone in September, this year we’ll be there a month earlier – hopefully this means better weather to enjoy the lake! We arrive Friday evening and stay until Sunday morning. There are opportunities to connect with church friends old and new through worship, games, craft projects, hiking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and eating together — but the schedule is casual and nothing is required. Read a book, take a nap, lounge by the shore…. The weekend is yours to relax and reconnect with yourself and with God. All are welcome, from families with young kids to teens to older adults; bring a friend or come by yourself. Have your own cabin or choose to share. Some cabins are newly renovated and handicap accessible, and some are quaint and more rustic. Food is prepared for us and camp staff are on hand to assist us as needed.
Thanks to church fundraisers (primarily the Rally Day Pie Auction) and scholarships from the church Endowment, fees for the weekend are greatly reduced — and further financial help is available as needed (ask Pastor Colie). Grab a registration form from the information desk, or contact Penny in the church office.
