Sudden Move!
Stephanie Sprude has accepted a job transfer to CO, where her parents live. Today is her last Sunday here as a member at Grace Church. She will need some “strong help” in loading up a moving van next weekend. Also, if anyone can help her with cleaning up afterwards, it would be greatly appreciated!  She will provide sandwiches, chips and sodas :0)

Her home will most likely be put up “FOR RENT” so if you know of anyone needing a rental home, please contact Stephanie or the church office.

Due to a previous commitment, Stephanie cannot stay for a reception today. There is a CARD for her on the table in the Narthex. Please join us by signing it and wishing her farewell.
