Outreach Café is this Sunday (1/25) from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. 100% of the proceeds are donated to five missions of our church: Habitat for Humanity, a homeless shelter here in McHenry County, Veterans' Path to Hope, local food pantries, and Good News Kenya. It is a great opportunity to have breakfast and get to know each other a little better. The Outreach Cafe is made possible by the financial support of Thrivent Financial and by the people of Grace.

Congregational Meeting: On January 25th, following the 9:30am service, we will have a congregational meeting for all active members. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to adopt a 2026 church budget.

Food Pantry Volunteers Needed: Grace is a partner church with the Helping Hands Food Pantry in Spring Grove. In addition to paying a portion of their rent, we are responsible for providing volunteers every six months. We need volunteers for February every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Sign up in our church narthex (lobby) or contact our church office

Bible Study January 25th: Our Bible study, “A Jesus Shaped Life,” will have its final meeting on January 25th at 7pm. All are welcome!

Spaghetti Dinner a Success: Thank you to all those who came to our spaghetti dinner! We raised over $3,500 to benefit victims of natural disasters. Spaghetti sauce is still available for a free will offering.

WELCA Meetings: WELCA meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 10:00am in Luther Hall. All women are invited to attend.

Confirmation and Sunday School Continue: Confirmation and Sunday School are now meeting each week. Sunday school during our 9:30am worship service and confirmation Wednesdays at 5:30pm.

Music Ministry at Grace: We are seeking more folks to become involved with music at Grace. If you are interested in sharing your voice, instrumental ability or have no musical background but would like to learn how you might be involved, please contact Tara at jzzldy8@sbcglobal.net  There are opportunities to help lead the weekly hymns, sing with our choir, or help provide special music on holidays, as well as for Sunday services. All are welcome, ages 12 and up [younger considered], and no level of experience is required. And you need not make a long-term commitment.

If you can support Grace through your offering, we would be grateful. You can give to Grace online through this link (https://rb.gy/tnkhvf) or by mailing your offering directly to the church (P.O. Box 425 Richmond, IL 60071).
