Family Meals' Summer Food Drive

Grace is collecting food for Summer Family Meals. 

Last Easter we were the number 1 donor church. Lets keep it up!

Just bring food to the church and put it in the bin. 

This year they are asking for desserts. 

Family Meals' Summer Outreach 2017

We need lots of volunteers to help us deliver to over 1000 families! Our summer menu includes: a frozen chicken, fresh carrots, fresh potatoes, canned vegetables, bbq beans, rolls and boxed desserts. These meal bags will be delivered directly to families' homes. We do not require families to sign vouchers, wait in line or carry a food box. We ask them to enjoy a family meal in their homes, using their recipes. We always include table-talk questions to get the table conversation started.We also include mealtime prayers for the families to share.

Dogs and Cats Forever in Fort Pierce is donating pet food to families this year! The entire family will be fed. http://dogsandcatsforever.com/, 4600 Selvitz Rd, Fort Pierce, (772) 489-5454

As always, we need lots of help! Volunteer opprotunities are available on Friday, July 28 at 1:00pm setting up the room, counting potatoes, and unloading the food trucks. AND on Saturday, July 29 starting at 7:30 am. We need packers and lots of help in many ways! We deliver, sort and pack out of Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Pierce. http://trinitychurch4u.com/

Volunteering as a driver takes a total of 3-5 hours of your time - about an hour during the week calling families to let them know their delivery time and about 3-4 hours on Saturday morning the 29th picking up and delivering to families. Please contact FamilyMealsDrivers@gmail.com ASAP to sign up as a driver.

Family Meals is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 local organizationfamilymealsinc.org, familymealsfl@gmail.com or call us 772-210-0900

If you can volunteer, please message us or email familymealsvolunteers@gmail.com

The Minor Leagues

New Sermon Series! 

Starting June 25th 2017

We are looking at the minor prophets in the old testament. 

Waiting for Redemption. The world is going away from God’s People, the Assyrians to the north and Babylon to the south. They will either be destroyed or taken over if they don’t watch out. But God calls in his minor league stars to proclaim His righteousness, grace, and favor to His people.

Hearing Loop System

We are a Hearing Loop enabled church!

Coming on March 10th

Our Church

Now offers a Hearing Loop

for hearing aid users and cochlear implant wearers

With the flip of the hearing aid’s telecoil switch, any sound between a speaker on a podium and the listener in the sanctuary is eliminated, allowing the hearing aid user to hear the speaker clearly and without background noise. 

 Hearing loop systems take sound straight from the sound system and deliver it right into the listener’s hearing and without extraneous background noise without having to pick up a separate listening device.

 Do you wear hearing aids?  All the user needs to do is switch his or her hearing aid or cochlear implant to the “T”, telephone, or hearing loop program.  All but the very smallest modern hearing aids tend to be supplied with this internalt-coil or telecoil.  However, it may not have been activated when the device was originally programmed.  ?  Be sure you know if your aid has a T-coil, and if it is automatically switched on in proper environments or if you need to turn it on (with a switch) when needed.  (Look in your hearing aid instruction book or ask your hearing aid provider if need be). 

 Special thanks to Joe Dashiell ofFlorida Hearing Loops, LLC, a certified installer and provider, for information and help getting looped, and to www.loopwisconsin.com  for the church information wording.

Singing For Joy!

Let's put together a worship team that can learn new songs and help the congregation to learn them too.  The beauty of this idea is that we can do it with just 2 or 3 or with more, if more are willing.

Let's put together a worship team that can learn new songs and help the congregation to learn them too.  The beauty of this idea is that we can do it with just 2 or 3 or with more, if more are willing.  

If you are like me, you love the hymns that you grew up singing; I believe these songs fill an emotional and spiritual need in us. As we look to the future it seems that to meet the emotional and spiritual needs  of members raised in the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond that we should include more of the hymns that these worshipers grew up singing.  Obviously, we have many of these songs already in our song lists. However, there are many that could be added; songs with beautiful words, easy songs that we could include in our worship.  

I  know that as a group you folks have your own thoughts and ideas and I would like your help in figuring out how this could work.  My hope would be that we can have a great time singing.  Would Jan. 31 at 10:00 a.m. work for us to discuss how we should proceed ?  Let me know if you will at least attend to discuss the idea.  Suggest an alternative time if you want.  Thanks for giving this your prayerful consideration.

Yours in Christ,

Cindy

ps Please don't think that I want to stop singing songs from our beautiful Lutheran heritage. There will always be a place for beautiful hymns like What a Friend We Have in Jesus; Holy, Holy, Holy; Beautiful Savior; How Great Thou Art; and the like.  There are so many hymns that must be passed down to future generations.

If you are interested Please fill out the form bellow.

Service Time Change.

Due to the increased attendance during the winter months. We are going to add a service through the winter.

We love our snow birds, down for the winter months (and the Mets), and we love the new families which will be coming. This also presents a very interesting opportunity to be able to invite your friends or neighbors to Grace. Both services during this winter will be very similar, and have communion.  I have talked to a couple of families which are excited about the earlier time.
