A Note From Our Secretary

Carl and I had a wonderful vacation in the Buffalo/Niagara area! After a long year of Covid recovery I am grateful for the prayers and support from our Grace family. I continue to go to physical therapy four times a week to work on strengthening my legs…it’s working because we walked across the Rainbow Bridge into Canada. Thanks to Vicki for covering for me last Thursday!!

If you would be interested in volunteering in the office in July (3-17) please let me know. Carl and I will be in Minnesota for his family reunion and his grand-mother’s 90th birthday. You can volunteer for the morning, the afternoon, or both. Please email (gracechurch517@gmail.com) me or call me at the church office (717-397-2748) if you are interested.

Our Grace Family

Christian Sympathy

We give thanks for the life of Pastor Paul Baranek. The Baraneks came to Grace when he and his wife Martha moved to Luther Acres in retirement nearly ten years ago.

They were faithful worshippers at our 10:30 service, and you may remember our recognition of Paul’s 60th anniversary of ordination back in 2017! We pray God’s comfort and blessing upon Martha, his wife of thirty-five years and their family. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
