Parish Ed Board Needs Couple More Members If you have school-aged children and their Christian faith is important to you, please consider serving on the Grace Parish Ed Board. We need a couple more people to fill our 4-person board. Immediate goals will be to work with Pastor Dennis to help redevelop the Sunday School so children can begin attending this fall, as well as help advise on/help with other educational programs for the kids throughout the year like Day Camp/Vacation Bible School, Confirmation, etc. Please contact one of the church council members if you can help. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
