CONFIRMATION INTEREST
Meeting Sunday, Aug. 27, 2017 "Confirmation" is an opportunity for young people to enter into conversations with me, their peers, parents and other church members and friends about their faith journeys. They'll discover more about Christianity, United Methodism and Grace United Methodist Church. Once they've completed the Confirmation experience, each participant will be invited to consider making a formal commitment as a member of our family of faith at Grace. I'm excited that we'll be using a new curriculum resource for Confirmation this year! It's called "Confirm" (great name, right!?) and will, I think, help participants, parents, mentors (and me!) learn a great deal and have a good time doing it. I'm inviting 7th and 8th graders (and the adults responsible for them) to join me in the large conference room Sunday, Aug. 27 at 11 a.m. We'll enjoy pizza and get better acquainted with each other and our new Confirmation experience at Grace. The meeting will last no longer than an hour. If this meeting time/date doesn't work for you but you're interested, please contact me...Jim@gracesiouxcity.org Also...I'm looking for folks who'd love to share their journey of faith one-on-one with one of the confirmation students as a mentor! I'll gather the mentors at a separate orientation meeting at a time/place to be announced, but I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know of your interest, or questions, as soon as possible. 
School Supplies For Missions
I would like to clear up some misunderstandings about the school supplies that are being collected as part of our mission projects. There are two different sets of school supplies that we collect. One set is the school kits/bags that are collected for the In-gathering. The supplies needed for the In-gathering bags are listed on the papers attached to the bags. The second set of school supplies are the ones that we donate to Spalding Elementary. These are a different set of supplies.
The last 3 are for students who may have accidents at school. Both of these school supply projects are valuable mission projects. I hope that I have cleared up any misunderstandings about the two projects. Larry Martin, chair, Missions Committee

Worship at GraceWeekly Schedule
5:30p Saturday Worship 10:00a Sunday Morning Worship Radio broadcast of our Sunday 10:00 am worship service is on KSCJ 1360. PASTOR JIM SHIRBROUN
I’m hoping to hold a series of gatherings over the next 50 days or so to hear from members of the Grace family about your impressions of the congregation and your hopes, dreams and passions as we move forward in faith together. I’m envisioning each gathering will involve 9-12 folks (and individuals will only attend ONE session). These might happen in homes or in the Grace Parlor and will last no more than 75 minutes each. I’m just now beginning to schedule these and I’m looking for hosts and participants. In addition to phone and email, you may talk with me at church or see the display in Parlor. I hope you’ll help me in “Seeking Grace”! Rev. Jim Shirbroun (aka Jim).
Please join us in worship
Sept. 9/10, Sept. 16/17 and Sept. 23/24 for a sermon series entitled “Bread, Cup, Table: Elements of Community” We’ll look at three central components of our faith journeys… how they’ve been a part of our lives & their potential impact as we move forward. Bring a Cup of Significance! Everyone is invited to bring a cup/mug/drinking vessel of special significance to display in the Parlor, along with an optional card identifying the owner & what the cup represents. We'll begin the display RIGHT AWAY and add to it each week until Sept. 16/17. The cups will fill the communion table on Sept. 9/10 &, along with others brought on Sept. 16/17, will be a part of our celebration of the sacrament of holy communion in worship. All cups will be returned to their owners. Let us BAKE bread together! On Sept. 9/10, come bake bread (or learn!) prior to worship. Bring your own dough or choose from a variety of dough provided. Not a baker? Come to observe, learn & chat! I'm envisioning everything from wonderful, homemade breads to crescent rolls from a tube! Round 1 of baking happens Sat., Sept. 9 at 4 p.m. Round 2 on Sun. morning, Sept. 10 beginning at 8 a.m. We'll have all the bread in the sanctuary on Sunday morning, after which it may be taken by those who prepared it (or those with whom they share it!). Please let me know if you'd like to help with coordinating our bread baking experience or assist in other ways in our "Bread, Cup, Table" worship experiences. |
