Garden Help |

|
Need an excuse to get outside an
enjoy the weather? The courtyard
garden force has slimmed down to
a precious few, and needs to be
fattened up. No experience is
required, learning on the job is
free. Preparation of the garden
is upon us, and planting new
flowers is around the corner.
Contact Jane Henning (238-4089)

Food Pantry Needs Your Help! |
|
HELP! The food pantry is
greatly in need of volunteers
 for
two Saturdays, May 24th and May 31st,
as well as weekdays during the
summer. The pantry continues to
serve over 1,000 families per month
(and growing!) but due to health
issues and vacations of some of our
regular volunteers, we have a severe
shortage of workers. To avoid
closing the pantry on normal open
days, we need volunteers soon! You
can volunteer for s single day,
monthly, or weekly. Contact Chris
Rencontre
(togracechurchpantry@gmail.com) if
you are able to help!

Estate Sale |

A tantalizing estate sale will
be held on Friday, May 30 and
Saturday, May 31 at 23 Saukdale Way
off Old Sauk Road. We need people to
help price, to work on the sale
days, to help haul, and to lend
their computer skills. Call Jane
Henning (238-4089) to help.
Next Sunday -
Estate sales need help in moving
sale items and supplies to the
23 Saukdale Way site on Sunday,
May 18 after church. We need a
few able bodied helpers, and a
few station wagons or vans.
Contact Jane Henning (238-4089)
if you can lend a hand

GraceNotes |
The tentative deadline for our
next issue of GraceNotes is Sunday,
May 18. This issue will probably be
mailed towards the end of May,
focusing on looking into summer.
Because we had no issue specifically
for May, if there are any
announcements for this month you
would like communicated to the
parish, please feel free to email me
and I will be happy to include them
in the bulletin and Friday email.

Volunteer Opportunities at
Grace |
Reception Office
- Volunteers Needed Urgently! In
the past two months, we have lost
two very devoted office volunteers,
Liza Bardwell and Bill Warner. In
addition, we have lost Zoe
Richardson as she helps Stan through
his current illness. While we hope
this will not be a long term leave
for Zoe, we have a hole to fill
until Stan recovers. We need to
have volunteers, if possible on a
regular basis, but also as subs. If
you can help out for 3 hour shifts
once a week, bi-weekly or once a
month, everyone would appreciate
it. We all like having a live voice
on the telephone. Call Sally Phelps,
251-4834 (H) or 957-9369 (C).
Welcome Committee -
Seeking individuals with a sincere
smile, warm handshake, and a little
knowledge of our church layout. Very
flexible schedule - one half hour
after the Sunday service, once a
month. Benefits - such as handsome
name badges - available! All ages
welcome. To apply contact Linda
Savage at
savagelw@yahoo.com or
238-9870.
Coffee Hour - Hosts
are needed for Sundays in May,
June, July and August. Please
consider signing up! The time
commitment is 1 hour 15 min. and is
a great way to meet fellow
parishioners. The coffee is all
ready made so a quick set up and
clean up is needed. Instructions
will be mailed to hosts. Sign up in
the Guild Hall or contact Amanda
Farrow or Carol Schmid.

Endless FUNdraising
Opportunities! |
 Now
that Winter has finally left the
neighborhood (knock on wood),
Madisonians have emerged from
hibernation to enjoy all that
downtown Madison has to offer in
the Spring and Summer, including
the Farmer's Market! I noticed
Grace has a delightful little
popcorn machine, just hiding in
the back of the kitchen. I
propose we start poppin'!
Whether it's raising money for a
charity, donating to disaster
relief, or helping raise money
for Sunday School supplies or
food for the shelter meals -
what a great and easy
opportunity we have! If you are
interested in helping to
organize some Saturday morning
events or have ideas, please
contact Kristin Matuszak at
togracechurch@gmail.com!

Brunch for Bibles is Back! |
|
 Unfortunately
we had to cancel our originally
scheduled brunch due to one of the
now-infamous Winter '08 snow storms.
However, the brunch is now scheduled
for Sunday, May 18th,
after the 10am service. If you
purchased tickets for the original
brunch, they are still good for the
18th. The Youth Group
will also be selling tickets
following the services today and at
the door. $10 for adults, $6 for
children under 12. Proceeds from
this event will go towards
purchasing age-appropriate bibles
for our Sunday School children.
