The Path to Return
Our Grace Church Council is meeting Thursday, Nov. 19, about 2 days after this issue of “The Chimes” went to press.  Therefore, we do not have the latest word about any decision regarding when we might return to our building for worship and other activities. 

However, given the rampant increase in COVID19 cases in Woodbury County, I do not anticipate we will return before January, if then.

Please be safe…and do all you can to keep others safe as well. 
Blessing Jim

Upcoming Youth & Adult Advent Study Begins Saturday November 28th at 1PM or Sunday November 29th at 1PM

Be on the lookout for a mid-month mailing featuring our 2020 Celebration Brochure and your 2021 Estimate of Giving Card. Our worship experiences on November 15 and 22 will focus on themes of Generosity and Stewardship and November 22 will be Consecration Sunday when we’ll seek God’s blessings on our financial giving plans for the coming year.  
I’m still in the process of shaping our Christmas Eve worship experience but wanted to share what, to me, is very exciting news.  While we will not gather in our Grace sanctuary for Christmas Eve this year, we WILL be celebrating in a new way!
 
For the first time ever, our Christmas Eve worship experience will be available on radio station KSCJ (1360 am and 94.9 fm) at 7 p.m. We’ll also present this worship experience via our Grace Facebook page.
 
Want another Christmas surprise? I’m inviting anyone who’d like to come park in our Grace lot to participate in “Christmas Eve Drive-In Worship”.  Everyone will remain in your cars and, by tuning in KSCJ, we’ll worship together, safely in our vehicles. 
 
We’ll have battery-operated votive candles for everyone, which you may light at any time during the worship experience.  More details will come soon, but I wanted to share the Christmas joy as soon as possible!

​Our Finance Committee would like to remind our members that the financial needs of Grace United Methodist Church continue even though we are unable to hold regular weekly church services.  Members are encouraged to mail their tithes and offerings to Grace United Methodist Church, 1735 Morningside Avenue, Sioux City, Iowa  51106. 
 
An alternative method to mailing a physical check would be to utilize your bank’s online bill payment service.  In a matter of few minutes, you can set up Grace Church as a payee and most banks' online payment services will mail the payment directly to Grace Church at no cost which eliminates the member’s cost of an envelope and postage.
 
Thank you. 
The Finance Committee at Grace United Methodist Church
