Each Wednesday, Grace UMC provides evening programming for Pre-K -5th Graders to learn Bible Stories, Life lessons, and Spiritual Habits.
Engaging in a healthy community can, and should, be a spiritual habit we help our kids develop. But “healthy community” doesn’t just mean hanging out with Christians. This spiritual habit is about growing in Christlike relationships with everyone. We do this through small groups and empowering kids to engage in relationships with others in their communities. |

Sunday School has returned and its not to late to join us!
Leaders take the lead. Like a drum major leading a marching band or the grand marshal at a parade, leaders are out in front showing others the way. Legendary leaders of the Bible like Deborah, Gideon, Samson, and Ruth will help kids see what leadership looks like and how they can become great leaders too. Young leaders will grow this month learning that God gives me courage to lead, God helps me learn from mistakes, and God gives me leaders I can follow. Everyone can be a leader; let’s take the lead together. |

We are all wired for authentic relationships and communities. More so, Christians need to be together through the Body of Christ. We must be intentional about connecting and being with others. This means building relationships with those who are different from us.
For all these reasons, we are inviting you to our Beloved Community Event. It will be a time of learning and reflection on the image of God, recognizing and celebrating the beauty and power of God’s love, and gift of diversity God gives to us. Lunch is provided: Homemade chili, broccoli cheese, and potato soups, with cinnamon rolls and cornbread, along with a few diverse snacks, coffee, water, and tea. |
