In-person Book Group

The Grace in-person book group will meet on Monday, March 23rd at 1:30 PM in Nolt Auditorium. We will be discussing The Boys in the Light, a nonfiction book by Nina Willner. The book tells the story of her father, Eddie Willner, a Jewish teenager who survived the Holocaust, and the American soldiers who rescued him during WWII. It explores themes of survival, faith, and the bonds formed in times of war. Glenn Weidman will be leading the discussion. All are welcome.

Easter Egg Hunt @ Trinity Lutheran April 4, 2026 at 10 am

Trinity has asked for our help and participation with their annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday April 4th. Here are ways you could help:
* Participate in the pizza and egg stuffing party at noon, March 29th (Palm Sunday) at Trinity. Please RSVP with Kath so they order enough pizza.

*Volunteer the morning of April 4th: scattering eggs on the yard, egg protection from the squirrels before the hunt, interacting with the children. The total commitment of time would be 9-11 am!
*Bring your children and little ones to participate in the egg hunt – it is low-key with plenty of eggs!

Footsteps

The grades 3-5 Sunday School class is making a trail of footsteps during Lent showing ways we live our lives following Jesus and we invite everyone to participate! Please take one or more footsteps from the box in Nolt Auditorium and list something you have done that would
make Jesus smile! You may add your name or be anonymous. There is a second box in which to place completed footsteps. Fill out as many footsteps as you can every week.  We want to see how far around the auditorium we can make our trail of footsteps.  They can be deeds great or
small.  Two examples from the kids are shoveling a neighbor’s driveway and switching sports teams so someone else could be with a friend.
What have you done?
