COVID-19 & Grace Lutheran Church (3/19/2020)

All on-site activities and worship services are canceled until further notice

Grace church will be open several day a week. You are welcome to come in and pray in the sanctuary. Pastor Dan will be here on Sundays from 9:00 to 11:00 am, Tuesdays from 10:00 am to noon (except on March 31), and Wednesdays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

We live with a lot of uncertainty as COVID-19 spreads. This information could change; we will keep you informed.

There is tremendous power in prayer! Pastor Dan invites us to pray with him from your home at 9:30 am each Sunday (normal worship time).

Although Grace will not be offering any worship broadcasts during this time, many online and broadcast worship opportunities are available in the Valley.

Here is a link to a previous member of Grace Lutheran, Pastor Alan Schaffmeyer's Sunday Sermons - Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church from Washington Island in Door County WI.

Please remember your offerings. We still have bills to pay! You may mail your offering envelopes or drop them off. You can also make payments from your bank account by using electronic banking.

Let us Pray,
Eternal God, amid all the turmoil and changes of the world your love is steadfast and your strength never fails. In this time of danger and trouble, be to us a sure guardian and rock of defense. Guide the leaders of our nation with your wisdom, comfort those in distress, and grant us courage and hope to face the future; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

Blessing Box:

As part of COVID-91, we are getting a lot of daily use for the Blessing Box and are filling it daily. With the warmer weather, we can start putting canned items out and we are short on them. Today (3/28), Aldi's was not very busy. Their prices are good. Just a few Aldi's prices:

Mac N Cheese - $.33 cents a box - no limit

Tomato and Chicken N soup $.49 a can - limit 4 of each

Vegetables like carrots, corn, green beans, peas 49 or 50 cents a can - limit 4 of each.

We can also use Spaghetti O's, pasta, boxed type of meals, etc. If you find a deal on cereal we can always us more as it goes fast.

If you are able to help you can put the items under the table in the entrance on days that Pastor Dan is there. If you cannot shop we can use donations and we will shop for you. Again, those can be given to Pastor Dan.

We understand that next week (3/30) the children will not be receiving bags of food, so we may find more need.

Bless you and thank you all who contribute!
