Grace Weekly

VBS KICK OFF PARTY



This Sunday, we will have a special moment of prayer during worship to lift up all the lives that Vacation Bible School will touch this year. It's going to be an exciting week, and we would like to cover every aspect of it with prayer, so plan to be in worship this Sunday at 9:30 a.m.!

Then, join us for a VBS Kick-Off Party on Sunday, June 7, from 2-5:30 p.m. in the Courtyard and the Sanctuary! We'll have lots of fun activities, snow cones, and popsicles before we gather in the Sanctuary for a sneak peek at what we'll be learning during VBS. We will end the night with a family mission project in Massey-Tucker Hall packing meals, just like our Intersect kids will be doing during the week. Tickets are $5 per person (children under 4 are free)..We can't wait to see you there! Register HERE!




SUMMER EVENT DIGEST



Summers are always a busy time for all of us, and it is easy to miss some of the many opportunities to share life that Grace has to offer. If you are looking for ways to pray over the ministries of the church or simply want to know what's happening in the life of Grace, grab an EVENT DIGEST and get plugged in. There are so many things to be a part of--Bible studies and classes, retreats, mission trips, and other opportunities to serve--ways to live life in community as we share the gospel and share our lives. Summer 2026 Digests may be found throughout the lobby and Welcome Center--pick one up and be ready for the spring months! Or check it out online HERE.

Details and costs may change before next summer, but if you are interested, contact Kristy Elmore at kelmore@gpch.org.

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK We celebrate the things that we have offered to God that are bearing fruit—We celebrate what God is doing! The Women of Grace recently celebrated a beautiful afternoon of fellowship at their annual End-of-Year Luncheon. The event space was filled with warmth and creativity, featuring tables that were each uniquely and beautifully decorated by the group's members. Attendees enjoyed a joyful sing-along led by Ivy Castle Simpson, followed by an inspiring presentation from Michelle Hoevker, Regional Director of the Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services (PCHAS), who spoke about the vital services they provide to families in crisis. To conclude the memorable gathering, Women of Grace Coordinator Annie Golden announced the leadership team for the upcoming year, capping off a successful season of community and ministry.
