Outreach Café is this Sunday (6/28) 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 (6/28): Grace will have its next congregational meeting June 28th immediately following the 9:30am worship service.
