Summer 2009...MINISTRY Highlights


This summer will be a lighter summer here at Grace Church than is usual, but that does not mean that it won’t have its ministry opportunities to look forward to. Below are just some of the ministry highlights for Grace Church this summer:

June 12: Five of our teens will begin their summer on Operation Barnabas

June 14: We begin a new 3-week message series called Dollars for Dummies as we look at what the book of Proverbs says about money and finances

June 21: It’s Father’s day at Grace Church which will include the children from our Early Childhood Department singing and two outside baptismal services

June 22-26: This will be Vacation Bible School week at Grace Church

June 28: As part of the morning services we will be voting on the 2009/2010 fiscal year budget as well as the election and re-election of Elders

June 30: Nine of our teenagers will be heading off with Doug Kegarise, our Director of Student Ministries, and his wife, Renee, on a short tem missions trip to Ireland

July 5: We begin a new 6-week series through the book of Esther called Once Upon A Time…For Such A Time As This. Throughout the series, the church auditorium will be set up in the round and made to look like a Palace in Ancient Persia.

July 13: A large group of our teenagers and youth leaders will leave for Momentum Youth Conference at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA.

August 31: First day of school for Lititz Christian School and MorningStar Academics
Also over the summer months we will be ready to bring our foyer renovation and cafe/office expansion details to the church for congregational approval so that we can break ground and see this addition completed as soon as possible.
