All Church Picnic

The annual All Church Picnic is August 14 at Dobe's Ponds.  Everyone is invited.  Bring a covered dish, your swimmin' duds and your fishin' poles.  Maybe you'd like to bring your own comfy lawn chair too.  There's gonna be a pick pickin' and some great music too!  Ya'll don't wanna miss this shin dig! 

Hey! Maybe you'd like to bring a neighbor and introduce them to our church family too!  The more the merrier! 

Church Picnic Skit #1

We’ll be launching OPERATION SPACE next Monday for a week long adventure


into God’s Universe. Through music, crafts, Bible stories, activities and fellowship

we’ll learn about our world. We are still in need of helpers in many areas so if you’re

interested in helping please contact Pastor Lewie or Sherry Bennett at 797-5551.

(You must have at least completed 7th grade to be a helper.)

Registration Forms are available in the annex at Grace EC Church, or download

them from http://www.knox-graceec.org/. Please register as soon as possible to

allow us to better prepare for the children who are attending.



Hope to see you on Monday!!



In Christ,

Lewie and Sherry Bennett

Egg Hunt & Easter

Bring your kids out tomorrow for the Annual Easter Egg hunt at Grace church.  The fun begins at 10:00 am.  The more the merrier.  If you haven't signed up, that is ok, just come on out anyway.
