CAMP ECCO

The first week of Camp ECCO begins this weekend--July 4th. If you are going and need to carpool, we will provide a list of prospects for you to call. Please contact the church office as soon as possible to request a list--797-5068 or graceoffice @ windstream . net (remove spaces). If possible, provide an email address for the list to be sent to you. Transportation cannot be provided by Grace Church.

Car Wash and Lock In

Today is the last day of VBS and wow! what a week. Tomorrow (June 26) the youth will hold a car wash in the Riverside parking lot to benefit Camp ECCO and Stillwater Missions Trip.
Then.... on Sunday night,June 27th, we will officially welcome upcoming 7th graders--the Class of 2016 to GYF. Our lock-in will start at 7 pm and go until 8 am on Monday. In order to be part of the lock-in--you MUST turn in a permission slip. You may do that at the door, but a parent or guardian MUST sign for you. Please leave your cell phones and expensive devices at home so as not to lose them in the fun. We have a phone for emergencies at the church.
You can download a permission slip here www.knox-graceec.org/lockin10.pdf

See Ya Later Pastor Andy!

Many of you may know that Pastor Andy and Jackie are headed to Canton to begin their ministry! We are gonna miss them like crazy, but are very glad God will be using them to minister to the people in Ohio. If you'd like to say goodbye, we are having an ice cream social here at the church, Friday, June 18, 2010 at 7 pm. Bring a card & picture of your family for them to place in the memory book that we gave them last fall. Oh, and Pastor Andy is preaching on Father's Day --one last time at Grace. We love you Andy & Jackie!

VBS!!!! 2010!!!!!

Tell everyone you know that VBS is next week!!!!! If you want to help, see Mrs. Bennett or Pastor Lewie, they can plug you in for the whole week or just one day. We always need helpers.

Upcoming Events

Youth Retreat is past, school is almost over (Congratulations Graduates!) and we have a whole new group of awesome kids who are chomping at the bit to join the GYF ranks. As most of you know, GYF is open to those in 7th grade and up.
Sixth grade graduation is tomorrow, June 3 and VBS is June 21-25. After VBS is over, then 6th graders are officially considered 7th graders! And to celebrate this milestone we are inviting all of you to a Summer Youth Lock-In on June 27th.
Yes, I said LOCK-IN, that means we are pulling an all-nighter. More details will be coming soon and 6th graders will be given permission slips during VBS to take home.
