Family Advent Celebration

Saturday    |    November 19th    |    10am - noon

Come prepare your family to savor Jesus during the advent season. We'll celebrate with a bouncy house and yummy snacks!

There will also be an opportunity to pack Operation Christmas Child boxes to send to kids in need!

Operation Christmas Child


Shoe boxes will start to be packed soon and we could really use your donations! We are looking for small toys, personal care items, clothing, and school supplies that can fit in a shoebox.  They can be left in the collection bin in the church entryway. There will also be an opportunity to pack Operation Christmas Child boxes to send to kids in need at the Family Advent Celebration!  For questions or more information, contact Amber Fischer at 907-598-1328.

Leadership Training

Sunday    |    November 20th    |    12:30- 2:00 p.m.

The Leader Training is open to all those involved in any of our ministry teams at Peninsula Grace.  During this lunch we will wrestle with one of the inevitable challenges of life within a church family: resolving conflict. In our community groups, ministry teams, or discipleship triangles, we want to be a people committed to working through conflict even when it hurts.
Lunch and childcare will be provided.  Please RSVP HERE to reserve your spot or contact Ross for more information.  

Family Discipleship Class

Wednesdays   |   Nov 30th, Dec 7th, 14th   |   6:00 - 7:30 pm  

Join us for a three-part class where we'll explore how to create family rhythms to foster gospel growth in our homes. Family discipleship can feel like an overwhelming task. It's easy to neglect and impossible to do alone. Whether you're a parent-to-be or you've been parenting for decades, we hope this class will encourage you as a leader in your home. Class will be held upstairs in the gym rooms 5-6. Contact Ross for questions.

Youth group for Middle School students, and a women’s Bible study, a prayer group and the Foundations class, all for adults, round out the groups that meet.

New Reading Plan 

September 5th - December 4th


Join us in our Fall 2022 Peninsula Grace Reading Plan! This Bible reading schedule is meant to enhance your time in God's Word by following along with our sermon series. On Sept. 11th we'll start a 5-week series entitled "Transformed by the Story Teller." Our reading plan will take us through key passages that trace the big story of God's redemption in the Bible. 

After that, beginning October 16th, we'll move into a series through Paul's letter to the Ephesians. As we study Ephesians together, we'll read through several other books that shed light on the letter's background and that emphasize similar themes. 

As always, if you miss a day, just jump back in with today's reading! We're excited to dig deeper together!
