On Thursday, March 1st at 7:00 p.m. in the FUMC Fellowship Room, the United Methodist Women is sponsoring a program for all the women of the church on a very important issue:  Human Trafficking.  While this issue might seem like it does not affect us, the 2010 U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report says that 12.3 million people worldwide are forced into bonded labor or prostitution.  Please come hear a special presentation on this important issue.
 

Perrsons who are wanting to plug in to Grace Church are invited to a meeting on Sunday, March 4th at 5:00 p.m. in the OARC (Adult Wing).  At this time, persons will learn about the ways of serving through Grace and learning more about the mission of Grace Church.  Membership will also be discussed.  Questions?  See Cathy Liddle, Pastor Andy, or Pastor Jenothy.

The rummage sale is March 10th.  People come looking for bargains and find their Easter outfit, children's clothing, costumes for skits, items to re-craft into a treasure, kitchen gadgets, books and tapes, perhaps a piece of furniture or a picture frame.  We have sold everything from kitchen sinks to fur stoles.  Use these winter days to sort through closets, cupboards, cabinets, shelves and bins.  If you no longer use it, why keep it?  We will sell your cast-offs at rummage sale prices, and the profit will go toward paying down the mortgage on our beautiful building.  Do not bring sale items to the church until the week before the sale. There is no place to store them.  Thank you for your cooperation again this year.

Kids for Hunger Walk/Run from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Start and end at Grace Church.

Grace Church will be showing the documentary Before the Killing Begins: The Politics of Mass Violence on Sunday, March 18th, at 6:00 p.m. in Price Hall.  Since the Holocaust the world has seen mass killings take place.  What seems like isolated incidents are symbolic of a larger epidemic.  Come and learn what citizens can do to make a difference and how the words never again can be more than a slogan. 

McDonald's near the I-65 exchange is allowing us to dine and a portion of the proceeds will go to Kids Against Hunger.  From 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., 15% of their profit that night to KAH!

The men of Grace Church will be sponsoring a Potato Drop on Saturday, November 17, 2012.  A Potato Drop is a ministry of the St. Andrews Society.  Over 40,000 lbs of potatoes will be coming to Grace Church to be distributed among families in need.
