What an incredible night for our Children & Youth at Grace!

Ignite Youth and Bible Buddies came together for a special evening of faith, fun, and fellowship!

Our Ignite Jr. High and High School youth stepped up to lead the evening, sharing their faith through action with games, snacks, lessons, and lots of laughter!

What a blessing to see our older youth leading, encouraging, and building connections with the younger generation! ❤️

This is what growing together in faith looks like! 🙏✨

🍂 Fall Back into God’s Truth 🍂

Tonight our youth explored how God’s truth can transform our minds and shape our everyday choices. With so many voices telling us who to be, we’re learning to turn to God and let His Word guide us.

📖 Romans 12:2 — “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

As the seasons change, God’s truth remains steady. Our challenge this week: make room for His Word, recognize what pulls us away, and choose to follow Him. 🧡

⚾🥫 Cubs vs. Cardinals—this rivalry is doing GOOD! 🔵🔴

The cans are piling up at Grace! Thank you to everyone who’s stepped up to the plate for our Pastor Appreciation Food Pantry Challenge!

Cubs fans, keep swinging! Cardinals fans, bring your best rally! 😉 Bring canned vegetables and place them in your team’s container in the church lobby.

Let’s show Pastor Cary he CAN count on us as we help stock Grace’s food pantry and care for our neighbors. ❤️

Two teams. One mission. Every CAN counts!
