On the first Sunday of October, we remember and affirm Christ as the head of the church, and recognize the unity of believers in Jesus Christ with Christians across the world! This year, World Communion Sunday is October 6. During worship at 9:30 a.m., children will help us carry the flags of every nation as we parade through the Sanctuary. If your family joined us for Sacraments & Sundaes, this is a great time to have your child participate in Communion.

Following Equipping Hour, all are invited to gather in MT Fellowship Hall at 12:15 p.m. for an international-themed lunch celebration! The cost of lunch is $5 per person or $20 per family. You may reserve and pay HERE.

In addition, we are calling all cookie bakers! As a special way to connect our cultures during the World Communion Sunday Luncheon, please consider sharing a special cookie or dessert! We are asking bakers to share two dozen (nut free) cookies, bars, or special treats! Sign up HERE.

The Grace Kids Music program, affectionately called GKM, is a seasonal program designed for kids to tell the stories of Jesus through their eyes through music and theater. GKM is for children and students who love, or may be introduced to, the arts in grades K-12. Throughout the fall, weekly rehearsals culminate with a big program in worship in mid-December.

This year, the annual Christmas Musical performance is Sunday, December 8 at 9:30 a.m. during worship. For October-December rehearsals: GKM K-12 will meet on Sundays from October 6 through December 1, from noon-3 p.m. in The Backyard and then move to the choir room. Dress rehearsal is Saturday, December 7. The cost is $50 and includes lunch each week and a T-shirt. Scholarships are available.

Grace812 is church done differently! All of us, at one time or another, have been faced with challenging life events. In these times, Grace812 is here to help us recover from trials as we trudge through the journey to a deeper life. Our help is because of THE GIFT of Grace from God. Our foundation is built upon THE TRUTH, the teachings of Jesus in the eight Beatitudes from the Bible. THE PATH is an intentional discipleship road map allowing us to live life fully.
