Grace is hosting Water Wednesday on Wednesday, June 17 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.! There will be activities and fun games for preschoolers through 6th graders! The preschoolers will enjoy a special play area just for them (and their parents), while volunteers will lead the elementary students in wild water games. Be prepared to get wet! Sign up here.
Grace is looking for 20 volunteers to help with Water Wednesday! Adults and senior high students can fill any of the following roles. Middle school students can sign up to assist. Due to the summer renovations, Grace will not be able to host VBS this year. Water Wednesday is one of two events we hope to host for the children in our church and community. Please consider serving!
- 8 Game Station Volunteers
- 4 Snack Volunteers
- 6 Group Leaders
- 2 Preschool Volunteers
Use this link to learn more and sign up to help! See Jason Clark with any questions.

Work on the Children’s Wing has begun! During the renovation the Children’s Ministries have temporarily moved to the Multipurpose Room and Pyro Room. We redesigned and combined our Beginner and Children’s church to be a children’s church service followed by small group tasks and snacks. We are studying Jesus’ parables.
Because of this transition, we ask that families use the front stairs across from Pastor Joel’s office.
- The baby nursery is in Pastor Matt's office
- 2- and 3-year-olds: Parents may walk toddlers directly to the Pyro Room.
- 4‑year‑olds through 3rd grade: Due to the narrower stairway, please drop these children off in the hallway at the top of the stairs.
- Leaders and gatekeepers will guide them safely downstairs.
- At the end of the service, leaders will be stationed at the top of the stairs with walkie‑talkies and will call for your children to come up when you arrive.
- For safety, please do not send older children to pick up younger siblings.
We know this is a change from our usual routine, but these procedures will help us keep every child safe during the renovation.
