A substitute Sunday School teacher is still needed for the 6-8^th grade class to help to help if the regular teacher is gone. Please contact Danelle Sonnenberg if you are willing to help.

Serving at The Banquet: We will be serving the evening meal at The Banquet in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Twenty or more people are needed to help serve. An additional four people are needed to go early to help prepare the meal. A signup sheet is in the back of the church. Please sign up as early possible so arrangements can be finalized.

Center of Hope still has boxes in the Grace mailbox room. Thank you to those who have donated. If you haven’t gone through your closets yet, please do so.

Save the date! The date has been set for the Women of Grace Soup Supper/Bazaar on Wednesday, Nov. 6. How are your crafts coming?

November/December janitors needed at Grace. If you are willing to do the janitorial duties for Grace Church for these two months, please sign up at the bulletin board across from the mailboxes.

Do you have a need? Or know someone in need in our church family? Please contact Elaine DeVries at 680-4181 or Laura Noteboom at 201-9171 with requests for church family support. No need is too great or too small when we all work together to meet it.

Grace/CRC Church Family: “Rejoice with those who rejoice! Walk beside the weary.” If you are interested in being on a list of those helping to meet needs of our church family, please contact Elaine DeVries at 680-4181 or Laura Noteboom at 201-9171. This may involve anything from meal prep to yard work so all are welcome to be part of a contact list about needs. You may then decide if you can help with that particular need.

 

Requested Announcements

This fall Amendment G will be on our ballots. This amendment would legalize painful, late-term abortions, including abortions after the baby is viable outside the womb and up to the point of birth. Please pray that South Dakota voters would vote to protect unborn lives.
