Living Grace Greenhouse
A unique event for those new to Living Grace
On August 2nd, 2026, Living Grace will host it's next Living Grace Greenhouse (think "open house"). This will take place after the 2nd service over a pizza lunch. This will be an opportunity for people who are newer to the church to get to know the pastors, elders, and staff, and learn of the many different parts that make up Living Grace - from our mission and vision statements, to our different small groups, to all the volunteer ministries, really, all the ways people can get plugged into the church. You can RSVP by using the signup sheet sitting at the coffee bar in the sanctuary. This is a recurring event at the church, so there will be more in the future.

Living Grace will be hosting a booth at the Corn Fest again this year on Saturday, August 8th from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM! This is a great evangelism and outreach opportunity.
