Charity Auction canceled

This week we made the disappointing decision to cancel plans for the December auction.  We simply don't have enough time to pull off a meaningful event this year.  We would like to see this event -- or a version of it -- return for 2016.  Please see Pastor Tom if you have any interest in helping to make this happen.

Grand Re-Opening

We will hold a brief ribbon cutting ceremony immediately following Sunday School this weekend to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Grace library.  Bernice Stevens will have the honor of cutting the ribbon.  Be sure to stop by and visit the newly renovated library!
