 Cooking oil for GRACE. We didn't quite make our goal of 200 bottles of cooking oil in the month of October. As of last Sunday, we have received 170 bottles. So we are extending the drive for one more week. If at all possible, please bring at least one 48 oz. bottle of cooking oil next Sunday. Thanks in advance for all that you do! This is an awesome church!

The annual BRAVE Special Olympics Banquet at Abiding Grace is Sunday, November 10. Volunteers are needed to serve the athletes and their families (if you’re unable to volunteer consider providing a cake for dessert). Helpers are asked to arrive at 4:30 p.m. dressed in your finest Hawaiian shirts, skirts, or muumuus. Volunteers will decorate, prep the food line, and share a meal of Jerry Court’s famous brisket prior to guests 6:00 arrival.
The BRAVE provides continued sports activity at a local, state, and national level for young adult athletes. More importantly, it offers community. Together they learn, they laugh, they disagree, and they support each other. Recent activities include golf, bocce ball, and bowling (please consider sharing your skills by volunteering to assist or coach).
Please sign up at the Outreach kiosk to help with the banquet. For more information, contact Kim Haggerty.
