Encouragement Cards for Summer Missions
Write a Note of Support
This Summer, we are sending 16 people to serve at Camp Promise, as well as 3 people to serve the entire summer at Big Sky Bible Camp (which will include serving at Camp Promise). We also have several serving at Victory Valley, as well as at some other local Christian Camps.
We would love for you to write notes of encouragement to those going. Blank cards and the box to collect cards are in the lobby. There is also a list there of who is serving this summer. Please RETURN COMPLETED NOTES by NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 7 , as our first people leave that week.
If you would like to help financially support our summer teams, simply place your donation in an envelope marked "Summer Missions" and place it in an offering box, or go to Giving in Church Center and select "Short Term Missions" fund. If you want to credit your donation toward a specific team member, either mark that on the envelope (not the check itself) or put the name of the team member in the memo field on Church Center. Questions on donations: finance@gracebfc.org.

Soccer Block Party for Chester

Del.Val Eagles would like to team up with some local churches to host a soccer- themed block party in Chester in July . They have asked Grace if we could help with that. They are considering Saturday, July 18. If you have any interest in being part of a team from Grace to help Chester celebrate the World Cup in a way that provides opportunities for the gospel to go forth and for people to find Victory Beyond the Cup, click the button below or contact Brit Haseltine or Pastor Mark
PRAISE GOD!
Recently, several people in the church joined together and offered to cover the costs for us to build an ADA Family Restroom. The restroom will include a motorized Adult Changing Table, which will have an insert to use as a child changing table. The new restroom will be located between the main office and Pastor Aaron's office. There is a small restroom there that will be greatly expanded and will have its entrance relocated to be off the hall by the pastors' offices. We will also be doing some remodeling of the offices around the restroom.
TIMING
We are currently hard at work, finalizing the construction plans. The hope is that in early June we will finish planning and begin applying for permits. This will enable us to begin knocking down walls around the end of June and begin construction in July. Construction is expected to take 5 - 6 months. As things progress, more details will be given.
