Sign up today! Our 7th Great Day of Service is coming up soon: Saturday, April 29. Ten projects are lined up, and we need a big group of volunteers like we've had in past years. This fun day begins at 8:30 with breakfast, devotion and a group picture at the church. We then go to our selected service projects—there are projects, outside and inside, for all ages and talents. Sign up today online at http://go.abidinggracedfw.org/greatday or use a paper form at church. Currently, we have only 36% of the needed volunteers, so please sign up soon and no later than Sunday, April 23, so plans can be finalized. If you have any questions please contact Terri or Chip Sakakeeny at greatday@abidinggracedfw.org
Chili Cookoff. Our annual Chili Cookoff will be this Sunday, April 23, after worship. Bring a crock-pot of your favorite and/or prize-winning chili, and we'll have a tasting (with small cups) and scoring. 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.
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.
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.
Mission Assembly. The 2017 NT-NL Mission Assembly will be held April 28-30 in Plano. Attendees from Abiding Grace are Pastor Nick and our two elected voting members, Beverly Blake and Donn Renwick. Materials for the assembly are available to view online ("Useful Forms" tab).
Thank you to our Good Friday actors and readers! More pictures from Stations of the Cross are posted online.
