Living Grace Newsletter | January 2026
Check out what's happening right off the bat, as we begin a brand new year at Living Grace.
Annual Congregational Meeting
2026 annual congregational meeting
Living Grace's annual congregational meeting will be on Sunday, February 1, 2026, immediately after the second service. There are two proposed elder names the leadership team has decided on. They are Barrett Moser and Tony Sarvo. Rich Hite and Rick Shumate will be stepping off. The meeting is an opportunity for the congregation to hear from church leadership on things like the annual budget, any bylaw changes, changes in the elder board, etc., and then the affirmation of any changes. Please plan on attending the meeting and being part of affirming any changes that are presented.
Mosaic Ministry Community Meal Service
Members of Living Grace serving the community of south Toledo
A team from Living Grace will be preparing a dinner meal, then delivering it and serving it to members of the south Toledo community, this Sunday, January 11th. This is something we continue to be involved in as an outreach opportunity for Christ followers. This is such a blessing to not only the recipients, but also the members of our church as we meet, serve, and fellowship with individuals and families. Keep a watchful eye for future opportunities throughout this year, where you too can have an opportunity to serve at a Mosaic meal.
Ministry Volunteers Needed
Please consider volunteering on a ministry team
Living Grace is continually in need of volunteers in different ministries of the church. Children's ministries and hospitality are currently the most-needed positions to be filled. You can review the ways you can serve and also sign-up for one or more, under Volunteer Signup on the Home tab of the mobile app, and also on our website at https://lgechurch.com/volunteer. Thank you for your service, in advance. Thanks also to everyone currently serving and who have served in the past. Living Grace needs you all.
