There are three great opportunities this fall to volunteer in Children's Ministries!
- Sunday school helpers are needed for the 4s & 5s and 4th-6th grade classes. This would require volunteering for four weeks every other month and assisting the main teacher. Contact Jason Clark to learn more about this role.
- A helper in the Awana Cubbies club is also needed on Wednesday evenings. See Cheryl DeVinney to learn more about Cubbies.

Grace's classroom renovations are finished and ready to use! Here are the changes you can expect:
- The nursery is ready and available for newborns up to age 2. You can register and sign in nursery-aged children at the new nursery check-in counter.
- The nursing mothers' room is available for those who need it.
- Children ages 2 through 3rd grade will enjoy their regular Sunday morning activities in the newly renovated spaces downstairs. Please check in and register your children at the new kiosks downstairs.
- New security procedures will be in place when Sunday school begins on September 13. Between now and then, parents and caregivers should begin paying closer attention to their registration and pick-up tickets as we prepare for the new procedures.
- Room 8 downstairs is our new Family Room. Tables and chairs are available for families, and the worship service will be broadcast there.
It always takes a little time to adjust to new spaces and new procedures. Thank you for your patience as we work through the inevitable growing pains—and thank you to everyone who helped make these beautiful new spaces possible!

Sunday School begins on Sunday, September 13!
Our children will enjoy special age-graded classes in their brand-new classrooms.
For adults, we will offer two classes during September through November:
- Young Couples Class – Don Brubaker will lead a class designed for young couples. This will be a small group style class with many opportunities for interaction and discussion.
- Auditorium Class – Young adults will join the rest of the adults in the auditorium. Jeff Mindler will teach a three-week series on evangelism during September, followed by Joel DeVinney, who will teach on prayer during October and November.
The Young Adult class taught by Joel DeVinney will resume in December. Jefferey Becker will also begin a series from the book of Colossians in the auditorium.

Grace will be the host of this Apologetics for the Church conference on Holy Sexuality taking place October 2-3.
In a culture where questions about sexuality, identity, and biblical authority are shaping conversations both inside and outside the church, Christians need more than opinions. We need confidence in God's Word. Join us for this conference with renowned New Testament scholar Dr. Robert A.J. Gagnon, one of the world's leading voices on the biblical theology of human sexuality.
