Interim Grace Notes for July 7, 2023

VBS Ready to Go!

Our VBS this summer will again be a LIFT event, this coming week, July 10-13 from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm. VBS this year hosted by St. Mark This is a good place because of the large yard for outdoor activities. Our theme is God's Good Creation, and you view a Facebook information page with a link to registration HERE.

Directories Have Been Delivered!

Hard copies of Grace's new picture church directory have been delivered to the church office. If you ordered one or more copies, you are welcome to stop at the church office and pick yours up. Beginning next weekend, we will make them available for pickup after worship. We had extra copies printed, while supplies last, you can purchase a copy. We are asking for a donation of $10 per directory which will cover the cost of production. Remember that there are two ways of viewing the directory online:

Remember that the PDF is password protected. If you need help remembering the password, you can email Pr. Mark at mark@bogen.org.

Grace Kids at Camp This Summer

I had planned to post this in June when it happened, so am posting it now. Grace sent four campers to Hopewood Pines (formerly Lutheran Memorial Camp) near Fulton, OH last month. All four campers were from the same family, and were able to attend because Grace has the funds to subsidize the greater part of the $450 cost per camper per week. Here are some public pics from the Camp website of the campers who attended that week HERE, HERE, and HERE.

St. Paul Sandusky Plans Closure

St. Paul Sandusky, one of our Eastern Conference congregations, is planning to dissolve. They sold their building and property on West Perkins Ave., and have been meeting in various places. The Sandusky Register recently did a story on the congregation and their plans to share the proceeds of the congregation's closure. You can read the story HERE.

I will be officiating the services for Carole and EllaMarie. Maureen officiated the service for Paula, and will also conduct the funeral for Nancy Roddy next Saturday, July 15. There are no services planned for Steve, just a visitation time at the funeral home.
