Announcements for Sept. 21-27

Life Groups: If you were not involved in a group last year and would like to be, it is not too late to sign up. Simply fill out a sign up card on the table in the narthex and place it in the basket provided. Your group leader will be in touch with you within 2 weeks. If you were in a group last year (or led one), please fill out a card so that our records are up to date and a leader will be in touch with you to give you all the details of your new/old group. Thanks for considering participation in this vital Grace ministry. If you have questions about what LIFE Groups are or how they work, please contact Marshall Gipe @ 937.932.1991 hm, or marshall@thegipes.com

Do you have a family member on active-duty in the military? We would like to put together a list so that as a church, we might be in prayer for these brave men and women. Please contact Jeni Berger at 548-2253 or jdberger416@embarqmail.com. We would also like a picture of your loved one if available.

Grace is launching a new ministry specifically for college age adults (18-25). It is specifically designed for those who are out of high school and looking for a place to get connected at Grace.
