ANNOUNCEMENTS
Adult VBS program for July 19-22
On four evenings in July, the 19-22, you and I are in for a treat. Ghelin Menti, our Choir director, and I will be exploring a few of the 600+ hymns in our hymn book for their combined beauty both theologically and musically. We will begin with some light refreshment and then we will sing and explore the facets of faith found in the great hymns and songs of our faith. Each night will be focused on one of four themes- God the father /creator and sovereign; Jesus Christ, God’s son /Savior; God, The Holy Spirit /Redeemer and counselor; and finally the church, the body of Christ.
VBS for Children, August 2-7, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
We will be joining with Westminister Presbyterian Church at their church for our summer VBS program. This year we will be using Group’s Curriculum call Egypt and exploring the life of Joseph from the Old Testament Book of Genesis. (One of Pastor Craig’s favorite stories!) Please visit the link on our website and volunteer or sign up your children, neighbor’s children for this fun week. Stay tuned for more information!
Celebrate Silver Calling all volunteers! Please sign up to help with the 25th Anniversary. The sign-up is up in the narthex.
NEW DAY: Blessings on all who have donated so generously for at risk teenagers. REMINDER: only single-serving, easily opened canned or packaged items can be used. They cannot use larger or family-sized items or any made with peanut butter.
HAMMER SAYS: PLEASE TAKE HOME A NEW & IMPROVED “SPARE CHANGE NEED CHIMES” RECY-CLA-MATIC FROM THE NARTHEX. FILL IT WITH COINS FOR BELL CHOIR CHIMES AND RETURN IT TO GRACE SUNDAY, AUGUST 29, THANK YOU!!!
Habitat for Humanity “Sign the Stud” Mission ministry is sponsoring the 2010 fund raiser for Habitat for Humanity which began last Sunday, July 4. For three consecutive Sunday mornings, we will have the opportunity to “Sign the Stud” and all proceeds will go towards sponsoring a Presbyterian-built home which will be built in Fort Worth this fall. The stud that you sign will be installed in its permanent place inside an interior wall of the Presbyterian-built home and will act as a lasting tribute to the faithful sponsors who support this worthwhile project. Congregants of Grace Presbyterian have been involved with Habitat for many years with generous financial contributions as well as many hours of labor and donations of food, music and on-site devotions, and your generosity has been instrumental for Habitat’s success in Tarrant County. Look in the narthex for the Habitat table and grab a pen to “Sign the Stud” — $20 suggested contribution, but any amount is great! (Please put your money in the can by the stud and note on your check “Habitat” in the memo line)
Isaiah 58:7 “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to cloth him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”
Thank you for making a difference by providing adequate housing to a deserving family, and for supporting Trinity Habitat for Humanity!
