Grace Notes News & Events, 10/20
WORSHIP – October 26th

This week we conclude our stewardship series, “Beautiful and Abundant,” with week four: “Is It Contagious?” As we look at Matthew 5:13–15, we’ll explore how generosity and faith can be like light—spreading hope, inspiring others, and illuminating the world around us. When we give, serve, and share God’s love, it encourages others to do the same. Come be reminded that your light matters—and that grace truly is contagious.

This Sunday is commitment Sunday, you’ll be invited to bring forward your estimate of giving card.
There will be cards available if you don’t have one.
