Grace Lutheran Church – Blankets in Short Supply
We desperately need your help, friends. Now that the temperatures have dropped, the Grace Room is in need of BLANKETS, men’s jeans, socks and shoes. Check your closets, check your drawers, ask your friends with connections… Help us prepare for winter! Full list of needs.
On Monday mornings at 9:00 am, the Grace Room opens for members of our community in need of clothing and hygiene supplies. If you have items to donate, you may drop them off Monday thru Friday from 9 to 5.

Celebrating Advent
Celebrating Advent means being able to wait.
Waiting, however, is an art
that our impatient age has forgotten….
We must wait
for the greatest, most profound,
most gentle things in the world;
nothing happens in a rush,
but only according to the divine laws
of germination and growth and becoming.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
