On Thursday, July 30th, the families at Grace had a great time meeting up at the St. Lucie West fire station.

A huge thanks to Ken for setting up such a fun evening at the fire station!

On Thursday, July 30th, the families at Grace had a great time meeting up at the St. Lucie West fire station. We got a full tour of the firehouse, including a look at the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the training room.

The absolute highlight was when they brought out their massive ladder truck that reaches 105 feet in the air! The kids had a blast getting to sit in the seats and even hang out in the bucket.

Thank you so much to the St. Lucie Fire Department for an unforgettable night! 🚒👨‍🚒

Wow, what a great turnout for Red, White, and BBQ! Big thanks to Jerry for smoking up some amazing chicken and pork, and for providing the brisket for our raffle. Shoutout to the winners—hope you enjoy it!

Thanks to everyone who came through and brought food. The games this year were next level.

Seder Meals [Photos]

This Maundy Thursday, Grace Lutheran PSL went mobile! We had 53 people gather across 6 different homes for Seder meals.

We kicked things off with a host prep session at the Pastor’s house, then headed into the holiday to celebrate the institution of the Lord’s Supper. By walking through a variation of that original meal, we were able to truly lean into what Jesus was saying to His disciples. It was a beautiful night of laughing, sharing stories, and being the Body of Christ in our own living rooms.

Thank you to our incredible hosts and all who joined in!
With apologies to those who attended Ed and Claudette’s house. (I forgot to shoot photos)

  • Thanks to our hosts

    • Pam, Bebe, and Kevin.

    • Paul and Nancy

Dublin the Fun (Photos)

We had more than Dublin the Fun!

What an incredible time we had at "Dublin the Fun"! My heart is still so full from seeing everyone. The day was packed with laughs, starting with that super fun bounce house that was a hit all day long. And the food! We had so many baked potatoes and other yummy treats. I even spotted some Irish coffee creamer by the coffee station, lol!

We really went all out with the games, and they were such a blast. A huge congrats again to Pam for winning the Pot of Gold challenge! Watching everyone compete in Hot Potato and especially the 3-Legged Race (where there may have been some creative carrying involved) was hilarious. We even got a little help from the weather when the clouds came out right at 5 PM to give us some needed shade.

But honestly, what made me the happiest was just seeing everyone together, enjoying each other’s company. Watching old friends catch up and new friendships start, that’s how we live as the body of Christ together. A massive thanks to everyone who helped organize and to everyone who came out to make "Dublin the Fun" so special!

2 Weeks and 2 Baptisms

Great to have 2 baptisms in the last few weeks.

Talk about a holy streak! It has been an incredible couple of weeks at Grace. First, we had a new family move to the area and ask for their baby to be baptized, and who are we to keep the gifts of God to ourselves!?

Then, just three weeks ago, Hunter and his father joined us for worship, and Hunter shared that he wanted to be baptized too. From the littlest ones to those a bit older, seeing the family of God grow like this is such a gift. It’s been a very good couple of weeks!
