Living Grace Newsletter | October 2026
Fall is upon us, colorful and windy!
Here's what's going on at Living Grace!
Evangelism Training
Evangelism training with Pastor Jim
On Saturday November 14th, we encourage you to take part in another session of evangelism training, with Pastor Jim Wiczynski leading the course. We've had various training sessions over the years, each lending to a portfolio of methods the believer can use to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in different situations. This will be a two hour session, running from 9-11 AM at the church. Please plan on attending - you will be blessed.
Christmas Gathering for Age 40+
Come one, come all...older folk, that is
On Saturday December 5th, there will be a Christmas gathering for the young at heart, so long as you're no younger than 40 years old. The details have yet to be determined, other than what's been mentioned, but be sure to mark it on your calendar. It is currently in the planning stage, so more details will surface in the weeks ahead. You won't want to miss this fun time filled with joy and fellowship.
Men's/Boy's Camp Outing
All guys invited!
Friday, October 23rd, will be our annual men's and boy's camp outing. All guys are invited to join in an evening of food, devotion, and fellowship. Those that want to stay over for the night can bring their camping supplies and setup a space for yourself(s). This year the event is once again taking place at the Hite's cabin grounds in Wauseon. See Jim Wiczynski with any questions. Please signup at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094EA8AF28A7F4C07-65457967-living
Operation Christmas Child
Help Samaritan's Purse send gifts to children everywhere.
It's that time again...the annual shoebox drive organized by Samaritan's Purse. The list of items to fill the shoeboxes with and preprinted boy and girl labels to place on the boxes, are both available at the church, but can also be downloaded at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/pack-a-shoe-box. The final collection date will be in the middle of November, so bring your gift-laden shoe boxes to the church over the next several weeks.
Ministry Volunteers Needed
Be a champion through volunteering
Living Grace is continually in need of volunteers in different ministries of the church. Greeters and the children's ministry currently have 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.
