Men and Boys Camping
For many years, we have sponsored a Men and Boys Camping Trip. More recently, our men have worked to foster friendships with other dads and boys in the community. This camping trip in early July is full of good, wholesome fun and outdoor activities. A focal point of the time away is the gospel, which comes during devotionals led by several of our younger men.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is held during the last week of July for children from four years up through seventh grade. Each year, we teach the children who our great God is and what He has done for us. The teachers do this by helping the kids with scripture memorization, singing Bible songs, and studying God’s Word. The children are rewarded with special VBS coins for memory work, bringing their Bible, etc. These coins can be redeemed at the VBS store, which adds to the fun, learning environment. On Friday evening, the parents are invited to attend a short program where their children will have an opportunity to sing songs and recite Bible verses that they have learned during the week.
Christmas Concert
God has blessed Grace Church with a variety of musical gifts. We are glad to use these abilities in our Christmas Concert, which draws many visitors. Practice begins in earnest in October after the evening worship, as we gear up for this program of music. In addition to the music, our Christmas Concert provides a forum for a brief, but explicit sharing of the good news of our Lord’s incarnation for sinners.
