Memorial Service for Betty Allen

We will hold a memorial service for Betty Allen on Saturday, August 10 at 10:00 a.m. in the Grace sanctuary.  There will be a brief time of visitation from 9:30 - 10:00 prior to the service.

Betty, as you will note from an earlier Grace blog posting, passed away July 9.  She is the wife of Tom Allen.

Freezer needed

Operation Rebirth, a Champaign County Christian boarding school committed to providing a Christ-centered academic program for young boys, is in need of a freezer to replace one that stop working.  The need is urgent because the current freezer is packed with meat!

If you have a used one you would like to donate, please email Tom Brodbeck right away at tom.brodbeck@grace-nalc.org.
