giving
GraceWay is on mission with God to love our community—one neighbor at a time—by helping them find and follow Jesus. Every gift you give is dedicated to God and fuels that mission.
As you reflect on your year-end giving, you can view or manage your contributions at gracewaylife.org/give.

Helping H@nds Ministry
As you may have heard, Microsoft will be ending security update support for Windows 10 this October. To help our community stay safe and up to date, the Helping H@nds Tech Support Team is offering free assistance with upgrading to Windows 11.
Microsoft has recently released a new procedure that allows many computers to make the transition for free, though not every system will meet even the recently relaxed requirements. Our team will gladly meet with you to check your PC and guide you through the process if we conclude it is possible.
For details or to schedule help, please contact the church office (or click for more info about Helping H@nds).
