Various community organizations have compiled a list of things you can do to provide aid and support -- you can see it here.  (http://unitedwaycha.org/www/blog)

You can also make a contribution to the Woodmore Fund at the Community Foundation or United Way of Greater Chattanooga to support the immediate and on-going medical and basic needs of the children and families affected yesterday. You can also text the word "Woodmore" to the number 91-999 to give from your mobile phone. 

If you know of other opportunities for people to get involved and support these efforts please contact 2-1-1 or PatrickLong@UWChatt.org.   

Please keep the Woodmore community, families, teachers, and children in your prayers.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the 2017 Pledge Drive. Our numbers have increased substantially since the last update, but we still have a ways to go toward our ideal goal of $400,000 and 130 pledge units. We are still accepting pledge cards and online pledges at Saygrace.net -- please consider making Grace a part of your holiday giving this year!  

Total Pledge: $310,601   
Pledging units: 112

If you are participating -- or plan to participate -- in this year's Salvation Army Angel Tree program, time's a-wastin' -- gifts should be returned to Grace no later than November 30, which is the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. Bags of new, unwrapped gifts should be labeled and brought either to the Narthex or to the church offices.

There are still tags on the tree if you'd like to take part!

The Brainerd Market will conclude its "Summer Season" with a splash on Saturday, December 3, with its annual Bazaar. All sorts of vendors, all sorts of goods will be available in the Undercroft from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. No one should miss this magnificent and often unusual event!

After the Bazaar, the Market will move to winter hours, opening from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.
