Great Day of Service registration open. Please plan to join in as our church family gathers to spread God's love in the community. Our ninth annual Great Day of Service is Saturday, May 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and there are projects for all ages (children, youth, and adults) and skills. Registration is now open online at http://go.abidinggracedfw.org/GreatDay (and you can order a T-shirt, too). Each family member should fill out a separate form. There will be paper forms at church on Sunday, if you prefer. The registration deadline is Sunday, April 28.
Hiring Update! Our search for a full-time Director of Family and Youth Ministries is currently underway, and we are thrilled to announce that a candidate from Colorado will be visiting this Sunday and Monday, April 14-15. On Sunday evening, Lee and Kristin Bergstrom are opening their home for an Ice Cream Social Meet & Greet, offering families with children in preschool through 12th grade a chance to meet our candidate. If you are interested in attending, please contact Kristin.
Lenten worship. Please join us this Wednesday evening, April 10, at 7:00 p.m. for our last Wednesday Lenten worship service of the season. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday worship this weekend and continues next week with services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
Open House invitation. Come and meet our friends and neighbors at the Islamic Center of Southlake this Saturday, April 13, from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. for casual conversation and to foster community. Please sign up at the Fellowship kiosk.
GRACE Transitional Housing drive. During the season of Lent, we will be collecting items to outfit an apartment for GRACE. The GRACE Transitional Housing program works with homeless individuals and families to help move them towards independence. At the Outreach kiosk you will find lists of items needed. You can then sign up to provide items which you will bring to church. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Anderson.
Easter Sunday Breakfast. The Fellowship Committee will serve a continental breakfast before and after both services on Easter morning. We'll have pastries, muffins, sausage kolaches, fruit, yogurt, Easter eggs, and juices to complement the coffee, tea and lemonade always available. Come celebrate with us Easter morning!
Easter Egg Hunt. Bring your baskets and get ready to grab some eggs! Following the 11:00 a.m. service on Easter Sunday, there will be an egg hunt on church grounds. We'll meet right outside the main doors after worship concludes.
Topgolf! Our April youth outing (grades 6-12) will be at Topgolf in The Colony. The event is planned for Sunday, April 28, after worship. If you are interested, please contact Taylor so she can get an accurate count. Chaperones are needed, too.
