You are invited to join us at Grace for worship during Holy Week. Palm Sunday worship this weekend is at 10:00am. Next week we have services Monday-Friday at 8:30am each day, and Thursday-Saturday at 7:00pm each evening. Easter Services are at 8:30 and 11:00am. I pray your life is blessed through worship next week as we follow Christ on his walk to the cross and then celebrate him being raised from the dead.
