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.

Mentors are invited — and parents are welcome too if you’d like to come.

We’ll be watching the movie  “The Shack”. (It’s rated PG-13)
Here’s a synopsis: After suffering a family tragedy, Mack Phillips spirals into a deep depression that causes him to question his innermost beliefs. Facing a crisis of faith, he receives a mysterious letter urging him to an abandoned shack in the Oregon wilderness. Despite his doubts, Mack journeys to the shack and encounters an enigmatic trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa. Through this meeting, Mack finds important truths that will transform his understanding of his tragedy and change his life forever.

After the movie, we’ll have a short discussion. We should be done around 8pm. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Pastor Colie or to Pastor Mark.

* Note: this activity is in place of confirmation class & Gen G youth group that evening.

After 9am worship, join us for a breakfast for ALL Sunday School kids and their families in the fellowship hall!
