savings time **
The final
Vestry-led discussion session
will be this Sunday, after both
services. The topic will be

To all
the dear faithful people of
Grace who prayed and wept with
us; who called and comforted us;
who baked and made the coffee
and set the tables for the
reception; who came to greet us,
embrace us, worship and sing
with us at the celebration of
Bill's life, thanks beyond
measure from all of us. We are
blessed in your friendship.

Picnic for Bibles?
Save those Tickets!
 Many
thanks to all of you who
purchased tickets for last
week's Brunch for Bibles.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature did
not cooperate with us and we
were forced to cancel the event.
The Youth Group is looking into
a picnic-like event later this
spring. Those who purchased
tickets for last Sunday's brunch
will automatically be on the
list for the new event.
