Mother Child Breakfast
It’s not too late to sign up for the MOTHER CHILD Breakfast Saturday, May 10th at 9:00 AM. The Dauphin County Wildlife and Rescue People will be bringing wildlife to our program. You won’t want to miss this exciting event so please call the church if you have not registered already.

25 Still Available
for Sponsorship
At press time, 380 of the 405 hymnals purchased by Grace Church have been sponsored, most of them in honor or memory of loved ones, but a few anonymously or to the glory of God. If you’re shy and don’t want your name in a book, we’ll honor that! Just fill out an envelope and enclose $20 for each hymnal you’d like to sponsor.

Quilters Need Supplies
The quilters request that you bring blankets and mattress pads to the quilters’ room so they may continue their mission to those in need.

Bible Study
Regular sessions of weekly Bible Study, taught by Pastor Joel or Pastor Keith, are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM in the Large Conference Room. Sessions usually end by about 8:30 PM. (Tuesday May 20th will be the last session until September.) Participants should bring their own Bibles. All are welcome.

Serving in the Nursery
is Serving your Church Family!
Currently, we have just a handful of regular volunteers for the church nursery. Remember that no matter what stage of life you are in (with children in the picture or not), the church nursery is an easy, fun way that you can serve your church family. If more people volunteered to help, even one Sunday a year, we could ensure that families with young children would always have the opportunity to worship at the services. Please consider donating an hour of your time in 2008 and get to know some of the future faces of Grace Lutheran while doing so! Please contact the church office or Jennifer Graf at 303-1611 or to add your name to our list.

Thank You To Our
Friends at Grace
Thank you all for your kindness and good wishes on our move. You have been such good friends over the years and we have appreciated you for it. The reception after church on the 30th of March was lovely. Thank you for the opportunity to say good-bye to so many of you in person. We each also thank you for the personalized Bibles. They will certainly be used and we will think of you all whenever we look at them! We will always remember our family at Grace and hope you will stop to see us if you travel to Denver. Kris & Ted Griffith
