| Special Pledging Campaign Edition
This special eGraceNotes edition is devoted to the current Grace Church Pledging Campaign, which will culminate in "Celebration Sunday" on October 28.

The Theme is Thanksgiving
The theme of this year's pledge drive is Thanksgiving. We're looking at our annual giving as a thanksgiving offering to God, reflecting our gratitude for all that he has done for us--which is everything! Instead of feeling obligated to give to our church, we hope that we can develop the attitude that we are praising God with our gifts. During each of the Sunday services starting September 16, members gave a short "Thanksgiving Moment," telling how their thanksgiving is linked to their giving to Grace Church. Our members have some very different--and interesting--perspectives! - Read Roger Perna's "moment" here.
- Read Ken Lyon's "moment" here.
- Read Grace Staples' "moment" here.
- Read Wanda Miller's "moment" here.
- J White delivered an impressive "moment" this past Sunday. It hasn't yet been transcribed, but it will appear in a future issue.
Think about what you are thankful for. |
You are Invited to "Celebration Sunday"
Sunday, October 28, is "Celebration Sunday" at Grace Church. This is a culmination of our annual pledge drive, and also a time when we will gather as family to celebrate all the goodness that God has provided us this year. A "Celebration Bruncheon" will follow the regular 10am Sunday service. The brunch will feature egg casseroles, breakfast meats, assorted pastries, sweets, and beverages. All members and friends of Grace Church are cordially invited to be in attendance. The brunch should begin at approximately 11:30 AM. RSVP the church office (office@gracecollegehill.org, 513-541-2415) if you will be attending. We hope to see you there!
