News for the Week
With the original mandate of the Affirming Ministry Committee being complete, the committee now known as The Education and Advocacy Committee (EAC) is looking at what our next steps will be. We are asking Grace folks to complete a brief survey (see the link below) to give us direction as to the interests of Grace’s community of faith. This will inform us as to which areas Grace would be interested in exploring next.
We invite you to take a few minutes to complete the Education and Advocacy Committee (EAC) Survey before the end of April. If you have any questions, please ask a member of the Education and Advisory Committee.
Thanks.
Paul Bartu, Holly Dobson, Sharyn Georgas, Janice Martin (co-chair), Kathryn Munn (co-chair)

We would like to remind everyone that Grace has two ways to improve your worship experience if you are hearing impaired.
1) Grace has personal FM receivers that you can place over your ear
2) If your hearing aid has a t-coil setting you can sit in the pew in front of the sound booth, which is set up with a hearing loop. You need to be able to switch your hearing device to the t-coil setting.
Please come to the sound booth at least 10 minutes before service if you require hearing assistance to allow the team to set you up.
