MID-WEEK LETTER from Grace United Methodist Church

June 21, 2007 Editor: Linda Entwistle

LAST WEEK:

The church phone directory has been revised and reprinted. Copies will be available on the kiosk in the Narthex this Sunday. After that, they will be placed in the literature rack. This edition is yellow.

As always, once we get the corn in the ground, it's in God's hands.

Our weather hasn't looked all that good- an inch of rain every three weeks isn't ideal. But there's still time, and God has blessed us many times at what appears to be the last moment. Please keep this church-wide ministry and all who do the advance work on it in your prayers.
