100 Connections
We have 25/100!
"I met Ms. Diamond on a 2nd grade field trip to Discovery Place" - Justin
"I was at our neighborhood's monthly Bunco game night and met Ashley. She mentioned her daughter went to Winthrop so I told her about Grace's Campus Ministry." - Traci
"Madelynne & I sat next to Charlie at the Miranda Sings show in Charlotte in March. They were sweet and nervous to be there alone. They travelled from Chicago to see the show! We gave them some fun suggestions for restaurants and places to visit in Charlotte. Loved sharing stories of our mutual admiration for Colleen Ballinger’s comedic talents as Miranda." - Lori
We are constantly making connections in our lives - as part of our 100th anniversary, we are making at least 100 new connections as a congregation! To share a connection you've made, please click HERE!

Grace Member / Friend Memories
One of the ways we will be celebrating the rich history of Grace this year is to hear about its impact on the lives of its
members.
These do not need to be very long - even a single paragraph would be fine. Simply share with us your perspective, the way your story and Grace's story came together, and we will publish these remembrances in these Grace Notes publications throughout the year.

|
Centennial Temple Talks
As a part of Grace's 100th Anniversary Celebration, we will share a Temple Talk highlighting Grace's history through the decades on the first Sunday of each month, from March through December.
Click on the buttons to read our Temple Talks, about Grace in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s.

Dear Grace Family,
Thank you so very much for all the heart felt prayers, cards, notes, phone calls, and loving words of encouragement you have given us following the death of my sister Vicky Knox.
The love and care you have provided has helped lift us up and sustained us during this difficult time.
Peace in Christ,
Wally, Betty Sue Seigler and Family
