Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church

The winter storm that is moving into the Midlands projects a very difficult evening for Christmas Eve. Currently plans are to hold the Christmas Eve Service at 4:30 pm. It appears at this time (mid-day Wednesday) that the 11 pm service will be canceled. A final decision will be made shortly after mid-day on Thursday (Christmas Eve).

You are invited to attend Christmas Eve worship. Worship times are 4:30 pm and 11:00 pm. The service will feature Carols, Communion and Candlelight.

The Adult Choir from Rejoice Lutheran, under the direction of Ray Swartz, shared their Advent Cantata on Sunday, December 13, during morning worship. It was a combination of Advent readings surrounded with chorale pieces. It was a truly inspirational musical tribute.

The 2009 Halloween Party was a great gathering of fun.

Many received prizes for their creative costumes!

Thank you to all who helped make this party a success!

Grace Lutheran experienced the joy of gathering in worship and around lunch for the celebration of its 120th Anniversary. Pastor Laaker was overheard saying, “This is a wonderful celebration of the ministry that began 120 years ago and continues to serve people in this community today.”

Grace has the privilege of welcoming two of its previous pastors as part of the celebration of the 120th Anniversary of the congregation.

Pastor Dennis Hahle will be present on October 11. It will be a privilege to welcome Pastor Hahle.

Pastor Karl Konig will be present on October 18. It will be a privilege to welcome Pastor Konig.

A celebration potluck is planned for Sunday, October 18. Come share in the meal and the joy of thankfulness for so many years of ministry.
