Men’s Night

  • Wednesday Oct 23 at 5:30pm at Miller’s Ale House near Home Depot on Gatlin

  • Come and enjoy a good meal and good time together. 

  • New Service Times

    • Beginning November 10th

    • Sunday Services at 8:30 and 10:15

    • We have been blown away this year at Grace. The incredible support of the Alzheimer’s daycare project has been an incredible blessing. I think this kind of support is infectious to those around us. Since the summer, we have seen a steady uptick in attendance, and because of that uptick we have had many Sundays where finding a seat has been an issue. This is all before our winter friends come down to visit. Both services will be the same, and the pastor will not lead a Sunday School class while there is a 2nd service. There will be the addition of an evening Bible study soon. Thank you everyone. 

  • Real Life Ranch Christmas Support

    • On Friday, November 15th, from 5 - 7 PM Thrivent Financial and Grace will be sponsoring a spaghetti dinner here at Grace to help the children at Real Life Ranch in Okeechobee have a joyous Christmas.  Tickets will be $8.00 each. See Vivian Barto for information, or call her at (810) 423-7877.

  • Sermon from this week. 

    • God’s Purpose - God’s Plan

    • https://www.gracelutheranpsl.com/news/godsplan1

    • Have you ever wondered why you are where you are? Do you wonder why God didn’t choose you to have the things you long for, or why He would allow you to struggle with the things that sometimes drag you down? None of it comes by chance. God doesn’t leave our lives to a set of random circumstances. Certainly God doesn’t control our lives, as if you we were puppets, but He has a purpose and plan for each one of us. We just need to stop trying to run the show and allow Him to reveal His plan to us. God has a plan for your life, and Christian stewardship is really all about discovering God’s purpose for our lives.

  • New Sermon Series “God’s Plan”

    • God has given us, his people, so much. He has created us from the dust of the creation and breathed His Spirit into our being. He sent his Son, who became the sacrificial lamb, so we may never be separated from the Father. The Spirit constantly inspires us to go from here, blessing all around us. We have been given so much, so now what do we do with all that we have been given?

  • Thursday Bible Reading

    • 11AM on Thursdays, we get together to read the Bible and talk about what we have heard. 1 Corinthians 

    • This is Pastor’s favorite Bible study. Join us as we listen to scripture for 45 minutes then talk about what we have heard.  

    • We have been doing this Bible study for almost 2 years, and in that time we have read. Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1+2 Samuel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Job, Isaiah, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Philippians, Hebrews, and Revelation.

    • All of this in just an hour and 15 minutes a week. Come join us as we continue to read the Bible together. 

  • MOPS Helpers

    • Our Mothers of Preschoolers need more volunteers to help watch the little ones.

    • They meet at Grace on Wednesday mornings twice a month. 

    • Get in touch with Pastor or Judy if you are interested. 

    • Volunteers don't have to commit to every session. Occasional help is also greatly appreciated.

  • Prayer List!

    • We have made changes to the prayer list. 

      • We will keep a prayer request on the list for 3 weeks. 

      • Please let us know every 3 weeks if you would like to keep someone on the list. 

      • This change was made to ensure an accurate list of prayers. 

    • Here is how to give us a prayer request.
