Announcements
Please check all scheduled events weekly at Grace Lutheran and Providence Valley Churches as we are making decisions about meetings and gatherings each week. Please stay safe and healthy!
Reminder: 92.1FM Worship Broadcast has moved to 9:00am
Online & Radio Worship
Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in our communities, the decision has been made by Grace & Providence Valley leadership to move to online & radio worship only on Sundays at 9:00am. There will be no in person worship at either church. We offer our continued prayers for the health and safety of our congregation, community, and friends.
Midweek Meditation
Join us online each Wednesday this month as we gather for a time of expectation, preparation, anticipation and gratitude, using the music of Marty Haugen’s “Holden Evening Prayer” and words from Tsh Oxenrider’s new book: Shadow and Light- a Journey into Advent to guide our way. The Midweek Meditations will be posted each Wednesday to the Grace Lutheran website and Facebook page.
Worship Volunteers
We are looking for volunteers of all ages to read for our upcoming online worship services. You can record yourself from your home or someone can help you record at the church. Please contact the office if you are able to help with this ministry.
Christmas Poinsettias
Grace Lutheran Youth are offering the opportunity for our members and friends to remember a loved one by giving a Red Christmas Poinsettia in their memory or honor and allowing it to be part of our chancel decorations for the Christmas season. You can place your orders online at gracedawson.org or at the church office. The cost of each plant is $25 with proceeds going to the 2021 National Youth Gathering expenses. Poinsettia plants may be picked up at the church after the last Christmas service. Thank you.
Other Worship Opportunities:
Midweek Social Distanced Communion: Tuesday, December 8th at 2:00pm in Grace Hall.
Riverside Communion: Thursday, December 10th at 9:30am
Anyone in need of a pastoral or communion visit can contact the church office at 320-769-4394 or 320-841-2206. The pastors or staff would be happy to make a home visit with you utilizing safe gathering practices.
Circle groups, bible studies, and board meetings can resume as desired by the group while staying within the recommended guidelines. For a copy of the guidelines please contact the church office. Please notify staff of any gatherings within the church building so we can prepare adequately. Thank you all for your input with these decisions and your understanding as our leadership begins to move forward during this time.
