Easter Prayer Vigil

All of our covenant partners and friends are invited to participate in an Easter Prayer Vigil, held from 5 p.m. on Good Friday (April 18) to 6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday (April 20). This 36-hour vigil offers a special opportunity to join together in prayer, reflecting on the significance of Christ's resurrection. We are looking for individuals and families to sign up for 20-minute prayer slots during this time. Whether you're praying on your own or with others, this is a sacred time to come before God in the quiet hours leading up to Easter.

Maundy Thursday Remembrance and Supper
Thursday, April 17, 6:30 p.m., MT Fellowship Hall
This multi-generational supper is a mosaic of beautiful traditions that we cherish from the past meshed with the new traditions we are making together as the Grace family of today. We will be led by Scripture as we walk through the final moments Jesus had with his disciples at the Last Supper. Serving one another with our very hands and actively participating in the evening, we will share this simple meal and count down the final days of the Lenten season together before turning our eyes to Good Friday. No childcare will be provided as we encourage guests and covenant partners alike to experience this beautiful family-friendly evening together. We hope that you will join us.

Good Friday Worship Service
Friday, April 18, 7 p.m., Sanctuary
A solemn evening service for this, the darkest of days of remembrance. You will gain a new understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice and the reason for each day of reflection and remembrance during Holy Week. The service will make Easter even more joyful, as the darkness and reflection of the Good Friday Tenebrae service will remind us on Easter Sunday of all the many reasons to praise him through every season!

As we begin this new year, we are presented with another opportunity to live differently, sharing our lives and the gospel just as Jesus did.

While we often say, “together we take the next right step,” the “together” part is truly meaningful. When we share our lives and God’s blessings, we accomplish more than we could alone. Going before the Lord as part of The 5:10:5 Plan, a few families felt a specific calling from the Lord, and discerned a desire not only to give generously to the work God is doing here at Grace, but also to invite others to join them in this effort.

These families have pledged to provide a match up to $300,000 for all operating fund gifts given to Grace in excess of our current 2025 target of $2,800,000. You can find more details about this generous gift below:.

•Our current expected operating collection for 2025 is $2,800,000 which was also our approximate collection in 2024.

•Once the actual collected 2025 revenue reaches this goal of $2,800,000, any additional giving beyond that amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $300,000.

•This matching opportunity aligns with The 5:10:5 Plan. As individuals or families contribute more than they did the previous year, those additional dollars will move us closer towards earning the match. This ensures that your contribution will go farther, as it will help earn the match.

•We will track our progress towards earning the match based on our actual collections through the year.

You are encouraged to prayerfully consider God’s continued movement in your life. If you’ve never given before, perhaps this is the moment to take your first step. If you are already giving, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing generosity. And as we all have the opportunity to respond to the 5:10:5 invitation in our giving this year, to prayerfully increase our year over year giving by 5%, and to invite new people to join us, let’s do so knowing that we are together in our efforts. You may make your pledge or adjust your current pledge online HERE.

Through Easter (April 20), we will be studying the doctrine of grace (what it is, where it comes from, why we need it), as well as The Beatitudes and how to live the principles taught within them.
