Carving
Club:
⇒Our 'wood carving club' meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at noon
(at the church building). Beginning and experienced wood carvers are welcome and there is even some
equipment and projects for beginners. If you have questions or need more information -- talk with Wade
Davis, Steve Detmer, or Dave Dewar.
Note: The carving club will not meet for the remainder of the Summer.
Craft
Group:
Calling all crafters:
The craft group “Faith Works” will meet on thesecond and fourth Wednesdays
from 9 am to approximately noon to create crafts for charity. Everyone is welcome. At our first meeting we’ll take
a little time to talk about the purposes of the group and discuss some ideas that we have for it. And we want
to hear your ideas too. For this first meeting we’ll be making some things for Operation Christmas Child, but we
will also make things for other organizations in the future. If you’re a sewist, bring your machine and
sewing supplies. We will have an iron and ironing board and cutting mats. We’ll be working on
drawstring bags and pillowcase dresses. For those of you who don’t sew, bring your favorite craft and an idea for a
charity item. Example: if you knit or crochet, there are soap bags and washcloth patterns; if you make jewelry then
bracelets or jewelry kits are a good craft for the shoeboxes. And if you feel that you’re not ‘crafty’ come anyway
to learn something new. You can always string a ribbon through the top of a drawstring bag, or braid jump ropes
from t-shirt strips!
If you have questions contact Deb Watts, Nancy Wells, or Alice Sturm
Women's
Ministry:
The women's study group meets on the second Saturday of the
month. For information, contact Shirley Schmoock.
We as a church believe in the power of prayer.
If you have a need that you would like us to join you in praying for, or if you have a praise report that we can
celebrate with you, please let us know. The Elders feel that it is a great privilege to pray for the needs of
the congregation and have extended that privilege to the church body through the use of the Prayer
Request Form. It allows you to choose to have just the Elders pray for you, or to have your prayer
request shared with the congregation through the email newsletter. Here's what you need to
do:
Fill out a Prayer Request Form (found in
the prayer request basket), indicating whether it is a private (Elders only) or public request. Public
prayer requests should be for you or for a close family member, again to protect
privacy.
If you choose to email a prayer request, send
it to Pastor Dave at (graylingefreeoffice@gmail.com) indicating if it is a private or public
request.For public prayer requests that occur after
Sunday let the church office know by Thursday noon if you want it included in the Friday
newsletter. If you want the pastor to call you please
indicate that and include your phone number.
Public prayer requests will appear in Friday's newsletter for one week,
unless you indicate otherwise.
Remember that praise reports are
encouraging to the church, so be sure to tell us about how God is working in your
life!
