SPACE OF GRACE WINNER FOR JANUARY
Congratulations to Jessica Hreha for winning the Space of Grace during the Grace Family First Bingo event!
NAMETAGS
Please remember to wear your nametags on Sunday mornings. We have had quite a few guests attending worship, so it's helpful if we are wearing our nametags. Also, with everyone wearing masks, it's sometimes hard to remember who's under there! If you are missing your name tag, let Peggy know.
SOFT PLASTIC RECYCLING
Great job on continuing your collections! We just received the second bench that we are donating to the Historic Paradise Foundation. Have you ever wondered where the plastic goes after we collect it? In the following 2 videos are your answers.
