star Embrace Grace Ministry 
Begins September 5th
Embrace Grace provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for single, young pregnant women who find themselves in an unintended pregnancy. The primary goal of Embrace Grace is to empower the church to be a safe and non-judging place for the girls to run to when they find out they are pregnant. This 12-week program teaches them about God's love and grace, and at the end of the class a baby shower will be given to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their baby's needs.
star   The group will be meeting on Wednesdays beginning  September 5th from 6:30-8:00 pm  and we'll need your help! Would you prayerfully consider coming alongside us as we launch this ministry? 
star  Want to get involved? Attend our informational meeting  Wednesday, August 22 at 6:30 pm.  You may also indicate your interest on a connection card or email [email protected].  For more information on Embrace Grace ministries, please visit their national website here .

There will be food, games, photo opps and of course, t-shirts to paint up! We're charging $5 per student this year to help with our costs. Students are encouraged to invite an unchurched friend. We're opting to try and get rid of some of our past shirts this year, so new shirts will be first come first serve. When you come to pick up your student(s) that night, you'll want to have the seat they'll be riding in covered with some sort of protective layer to avoid having your vehicle changed forever like their clothes will be.
