Calling all covenant partners!
Join Us for our Annual Meeting, September 21 at 11:30am.
If you are a member of GraceWay, interested in being a member of GraceWay, or simply love your church, then stay after service on September 21 to hear all about what God is doing in and through us.
Grab a breakfast sandwich and head back into the sanctuary to hear about:
_ Ministries, activities, and outreach
- Our church goal for the year
- The ways we used our budget last year and will use it this year
- Voting for our new elders and deacons
- Stories of how God is working in individuals, and more!
Let's step into this new school year as a church on a mission together.
If you are interested in becoming a covenant partner (member) of GraceWay, email Pastor Mary about the upcoming informational meeting (mary@gracewaylife.org).

This Sunday, July 13 is VBS Set-Up, happening right after the church service. If you are able and available, please stay to help transform the worship center by moving chairs and setting up decorations. Lunch is available to all volunteers. Thank you in advance for helping!
We are thrilled that over 80 kids, 30 teens and 30 adults will be Magnifying God next week at VBS! Please pray the following for all the kids and leaders attending:
Ask God to open the hearts of the adults, teens, and children to hear His word in a fresh new way.
Pray that kids will share the biblical truths they learn at VBS with the people in their homes.
Pray that all involved in VBS will continue to seek God with all their hearts and grow in their relationships with Him.
Pray for strength, patience and stamina for the leaders and protection against illness and injury for everyone attending.
VBS Monarch Mission Project
Every summer at VBS we challenge kids and their families, teens and adult volunteers and the congregation to bless a community group to meet their needs. This year we hope to bless the Tri-Valley Haven Food Pantry with much needed food and funds.
The following is a list of the foods made available to pantry clients on a daily basis. Please prayerfully consider donating food to help the hungry in our community.
Canned Goods (soups, beans, vegetables, fruits)
Canned Meats (Tuna, Chicken, Spam)
Spaghetti and Tomato Sauces
Peanut Butter, Jelly and Bread
Flour, Sugar and Vegetable Oil
Please bring in your donations starting Sunday, July 13 through Tuesday, July 22. Look for the Food Pantry bins which will be located in the Family Room adjacent to the entrance. Check the expiration dates on all canned goods. If you cannot shop for food, monetary donations (on-line or by checks made out to GraceWay Church) are welcome, too!
