There will be a memorial service for the Reverend John Saeger at Abiding Grace this Saturday, January 9, at 10:30 a.m. For 60 years John served our Lord as a pastor, a hospital chaplain, an educator of pastors in training, and as a husband to Lorraine and a loving father. Please keep the Saeger family in your prayers.
New Wednesday schedule. The music rehearsal schedule is changing beginning this week: the Orchestra will now rehearse at 6:45 p.m. and the choir at 7:30 (hand bells remain at 6:00). Now is a great time to join one of our musical groups! Contact Director of Music Ministries Eddie Vandewalker if you have any questions.

Tribute to Jim Blood Drive. The Carter BloodCare bus with be at Abiding Grace on Sunday, January 24, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. as we honor the memory of Jim Fawks with a blood drive.
