Adulting with Grace

We are adults (single/married, kid/kid-less, bill-paying, 20-40 somethings….) doing ordinary, everyday things, day-in, day-out. We are all trying to find balance in our lives, between household chores, work, kids, dogs, church, groceries, bills ... the list doesn’t end! Adulting is hard! But Adulting with Grace? Now THAT’S where it’s at. This is a group where we can learn from each other, vent to each other, grow spiritually with each other, and of course, have fun together.

For upcoming events, find us on Facebook by searching for “Adulting with Grace.”

Graceful Seniors

An active group of young-at-heart seniors, we pursue an interesting and stimulating variety of activities! Meeting most Tuesdays, we are one of the most active groups at Grace. We pray hard, work hard, and play hard! The Graceful Seniors have no age limitations, requirements, or restrictions.

Visitation Ministry

This is a ministry to our homebound members. They are visited monthly, remembered in the weekly church prayers, and with cards on special occasions. Our purpose is to remind them that they are special within the family of Grace.

Does this sound like something you would like to be a part of? New volunteers are welcome! An informational meeting and a background check are required to be a part of this ministry. We ask for a one-year commitment. If you find it in your heart to be a part of this ministry, please contact us.

Faith Community Nursing

Our Faith Community Nurses, members of GLC, promote wellness and help us explore the interrelationship of the physical, emotional, interpersonal, social and spiritual aspects of our church community.

Our nurses work to promote wellness within our church community through education, consultation, presence and prayer. A regular Community Health Fair, flu shot clinic, monthly blood pressure checks, and the distribution of prayer shawls are only part of the work done by these dedicated individuals. If you are unsure about a health matter or need wisdom as you embark on a health journey, our Faith Community Nurses are eager to offer their assistance.

Men’s Bible Study

Join with men of Grace on the second Saturday of each month for Bible study from 8:00 – 9:30 am. We dig deeper into the Bible on a variety of timely and thought-provoking topics. Men of all ages are invited to join us from September – May. We do not meet during the summer months.

Women of Grace Bible Study

The Women of Grace Bible Study meets monthly on the third Saturday of the month (September – May). This informal morning study has a different focus each year – we've studied the book of Philippians, women of the Bible, and books by favorite authors such as Max Lucado. We meet about 9:00 am for coffee, tea and perhaps a treat to eat, then start the study at 9:15 am. Prayer, as well as both small and large group discussion frame the morning and we end our time together by 10:45 am, with plenty of time to continue a busy Saturday. Please join us and bring a friend!

Grace Women’s Retreat

We look forward to the times when we can schedule a women's retreat -- a special weekend of spiritual renewal, fellowship and fun. Themes vary, as does our location, but we always have an amazing group of women, wonderful lodging and great food. Watch for the next time this retreat is offered and be sure to sign up with a friend or two!

Alcoholics Anonymous

There are AA groups meeting at GLC Tuesday evenings at 8:00 pm each week. AA is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, political organization or institution. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and to help others do the same. If you are looking for a new beginning, or need support to continue on, you are welcome.
