Dear Friends of Grace,
 
Great Job... Keep Up The Good Work!
 
For the second straight year GRACE UMC is recognized for your evangelistic efforts.
 
The McClellan Foundation of Cincinnatti selected GRACE as 1 of 2 churches for recognition within the state.
 
They make their assessment solely from the evaluation of your newsletter and web site.
 
This year GRACE received a check for $500.
 
Thanks for all your effort and hard work.
 
Let's keep the ball rolling!

Help Support Our Charities...
Join Us For Breakfast Saturday Mornings at 8:00 A.M.
 
The Lenten Breakfast series starts February 20th at GRACE UMC and runs through March 27th.
 
We'll rotate to a different church again each week.
 
The speakers this year will be selected by the participating churches.  So, we hope to see a mix of clergy and laity.
 
Proceeds from the meal, a free will offering, will go to 7 groups...
  • The Crisis Center
  • Howard Haven
  • Kokomom Rescue Mission
  • Kokomo Urban Outreach
  • Operation Classroom
  • The Salvation Army
  • Samaritan Care Givers.
 
The advertising flyers will list the dates, churches, and speakers for each week.
On the reverse side we'll list a little information about each of the 7 groups.
 
Last year we collected $2,040 for charity.  Let's see if we can set a new record this year.
 
Block off these Saturdays now.
 
See you at breakfast!!
 
(Watch for more information as we get into February).
HAITI 
 

 Responding To The Need...

 Haiti needs help.  If you can assist... make a check out to GRACE UMC. 
 
In the memo section put, UMCOR Advance #418325-Haiti.
 
Thanks...
 
HUMAN RELATIONS DAY 
 
 Help Others Become The Person God Intended.
 
 This special offering helps church based community developers work in racial and ethnic-minority communities.
 
 Monies are applied to groups in the United States and Puerto Rico.  It ensures a second chance for youth offenders.
 
Find the donation envelope in your Sunday Bulletin.
 
Thanks.
