Family Promise is back at Grace This Sunday

March 9-16, 2025!

We will welcome families into our building for a week, providing a safe home and good meals as they work to get back on their feet.

If you'd like to serve in this ministry, there are many ways to take part! We need setup help, dinner hosts, evening company, overnight hosts, and reset help.

We are currently in particular need of Dinner Hosts for Friday and Saturday and Overnight Hosts for Thursday!

Contact Pr. Rachel with questions

We're inviting the whole congregation to take part in preparing our Lenten Soup Suppers!

If you have a favorite soup, we hope you'll share it!

If you can provide bread or drinks, that's great!

We'll also need assistance with setup and cleanup.

On Valentine's Day weekend, our Youth went to Lutheridge for a Winter Retreat!

12 Youth and 4 adult leaders had an excellent time, despite cold and rainy weather, building relationships and exploring Asheville! This trip included hours of group games, a trip to the Asheville Art Museum, a walk on the Urban Trail to see statues and historical landmarks, local food, worship, and a view from the top of Lutheridge.

We are so thankful to Grace for making weekend retreats like this happen - your support builds faith!

Only four dates are left to share the love of God with students who participate in Grace’s campus ministry by providing or sponsoring a meal:

~~March 11~~ - Slot filled!

April 1

April 15

April 22

These dates are all Tuesdays. Students gather at 6 PM for dinner, community time, prayer, and a program. Due to class conflicts, between 6 and 9 students are present. Two are vegetarians.

You have the choice of home-cooking a meal or sponsoring a meal (pizza or tacos from a local establishment are always welcome). You may sign up HERE or call the Campus Minister, Pastor Hahn, directly at (704) 425-2614.

If you are interested in getting to know and interacting with students, you are invited to participate in Evening Prayer, Sundays, 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM in the main worship space on the Grace church campus.
