Living Grace Newsletter | August 2026
Summer's coming to a close!
Check out what's coming ahead!
Bible-based Q&A
First time ever at Living Grace!
On Sunday August 30th, we will have coffee, donuts, and a Bible-based Q&A with the pastors and elders beginning at 9:15am. Starting at 9:30am, the big kids (5-12) will have a pajama party, where they will watch the animated movie “David” and enjoy snacks! We will have childcare for 0-4 years old from 9:15am-11:30am as well. At 10:30am, we will have a regular worship service with Pastor Harry preaching! Please submit Bible-based questions, in advance, to Pastor Jim at j.wiczynski@lgechurch.com by August 23rd.
Small Group Fair
Your opportunity to learn about our Fall small groups
For the first two Sundays in September, the 6th and the 13th, after second service, there will be a small group fair at the church. You will be able to look over the study materials and meet the leaders for each small group study. There are many different groups to choose from - i.e., literal Bible studies direct from the scriptures, topical bible studies pertinent to the believer's life, activity based groups to bless you physically and mentally, etc., as well as those specific to men, women, and individuals. Please make a point to visit the small group fair after one of these Sunday services.
Swanton Corn Festival
Living Grace's booth at the Corn Fest was a success!
Living Grace gave away a lot of free water and painted decorations on a lot of young faces on Saturday, August 8th, at the annual Swanton Corn Festival. This was done from our wonderfully located booth at the festival grounds. The Good News of Jesus Christ and gospel tracts were shared with any passerby's that stopped to meet us. Invitations to follow Jesus and also to attend our church services were offered to many. We plan on keeping this streak going and honing our presentation with each subsequent year of participation, so, if you missed the chance to volunteer this year, please look again next summer. Thanks to all who were able to give of their time to make it a success!
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 ministry typically has 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.
