On April 22 at 5:00 p.m., the choirs of Grace, Good Shepherd, and St. Matthew will present a Baroque Vespers at Grace. This hour long service, modeled on the evening service of the 18th century, will present Bach’s Cantata 112, Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt, in a participatory context on Good Shepherd Sunday. The service will also feature organ voluntaries, congregational hymns, and other choral music with guest soloists and instrument ensemble. Come join us for this exciting event!

            The Food Pantry Board schedules only ONE all-volunteer meeting annually, where we review the work of the past year, celebrate what this ministry means in our community, and consider new ideas as we move forward.  If you are already involved in this ministry, if you are considering getting a bit more involved, or if you are just curious about this ministry and would like more information, we invite you to come join us on Monday morning, January 8, at 10:00 a.m. in the Hoffmeister Room.  We begin with devotions, then review the past year, share experiences and observations, and look at the coming year.  We will have coffee and light refreshments, which always promote good conversation!

            On January 7, Grace will hold a multigenerational Epiphany program between services.  Start saving your change.  Once again the children will be collecting change at the program.
