Brothers and Sisters,
This is a first! Grace will host a worship service on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Below is some important information about tomorrow’s service:
- If your day is already jam-packed and you are unable to attend, please do not feel guilty. This is a last-minute change, and we understand that some people will not be able to make it.
- We hope to offer our regular Sunday morning service-time children’s programming. We will prioritize the nursery and classes for our youngest children. It is possible that elementary-aged students may remain in the service for the entire time.
- There will be no Sunday (Saturday?) school.
- The Grace Cafe will be open starting at 3:30 for those who would like to fellowship before the service.
- If you are a regular volunteer, you may receive an email this afternoon asking if you are able to fill a gap here or there.
- Tomorrow’s service will be live-streamed and available on Grace’s YouTube channel for viewing on Sunday and throughout the coming week.
- If you have a friend who does not regularly check email or may not think to visit Grace’s website, please consider giving them a call or sending a text to let them know about the service. They will appreciate it!
We look forward to worshiping with as many of you as are able to join us tomorrow.

Beware of Scams!
Several members of the church reported receiving an unusual email from Pastor Joel today. It begins, "Do you have a moment? I have a personal, time-sensitive request that I really need your help with, and being handled discreetly and directly." This email is not from Pastor Joel. Please delete it.

Grace’s next Connection Sunday is February 1. During Connection Sunday, the adults meet in the lobby during Sunday school for snacks and conversations led by Joel DeVinney around tables.
To make Connection Sunday work, we need lots of help! You can sign up to serve, clean up, or provide food. More details are available here. See Melinda Clark if you have questions.

When Millersville Community Church moved out, they left behind a significant amount of furniture for our use. We have sorted through it and placed many chairs and tables in classrooms throughout the building. Some furniture remains available. If you are interested in taking chairs or tables home, please visit the Zero Dollar Furniture Store downstairs in the large Kids’ Area. The items that are available will be clearly labeled.
Furniture located in the opposite corner of the room is not available, as it has a designated future use.
Check out the Zero Dollar Furniture Store on Sunday!
