Holy Week and Easter Sunday. There will be two weekday services this week, Holy Week: Maundy Thursday worship with Holy Communion and Good Friday worship. Both services begin at 7:00 p.m.

Come celebrate the resurrection of our Lord at Abiding Grace on this Sunday! Easter Festival Worship will be at 10:30 a.m. It will be preceded by an Easter breakfast at 9:00 which benefits our youth program. ALL are welcome!
Great Day of Service. Join us for the 7th Annual Great Day of Service on April 29. The Men's Group will treat us to breakfast tacos beginning at 8:30 a.m. Following a devotion by Pastor Nick and the annual group photo, we will go out in to the community to do "God's work. Our hands." There are ten projects for all ages and talents. It is easy to register on-line at http://go.abidinggracedfw.org/greatday or with a form on the Welcome Table at church. Please register by April 23.
Food drive. As part of the Great Day of Service there will be a food drive for the Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Irving. Items which are especially in need are canned soups, stews, pasta, beans, and canned fruits and vegetables.
Forty Days – Forty Items. If you have been collecting items this Lent, please remember to bring them to church on Easter morning. They will be delivered to GRACE.
New Member Sunday. We will be receiving new members during worship on Sunday, April 30. To become a member, please complete the membership form available online or in the kiosk at church. Give your completed form to Pastor Nick, place it in the offering plate, or email it to the church office.
Construction update. This week work will begin on front parking area and the driveways from Highland Street. Watch for changes in traffic patterns though existing parking shouldn't be affected on Sundays. As always, please be careful where you are walking.
Chili Cookoff. Our annual Chili Cookoff will be April 23. Bring a crock-pot of your favorite and/or prize-winning chili, and we'll have tasting (with small cups) and scoring following the service. Crackers, corn/tortilla chips and cornbread will be available, but you're welcome to bring any special "fixings" for your chili. Contact Dee Rose or Carol Court if you have any questions.
