We will be at Veteran's Memorial Park

Moms and the younger crowd are on the playground. For those of you who can stay longer, bring a sack lunch. When we get a big enough group, we'd like to do some organized sports! Teenagers are encouraged to join in!

This and That ~
*
Servant opportunities - there are always any number of ways to serve the families of GRACE through the GRACE fellowship - planning field trips, offering to host a family meeting, sharing your area of expertise with others...the list goes on! 
Prayerfully consider where the Lord may be calling you to serve the families of GRACE. 
Please keep in mind - the GRACE homeschool fellowship as an organization is intended as a
means to serve others and does not have any significance of its own
Serve God, serve family, then serve others!
  
*Thank you all for having been so positive and supportive as this GRACE homeschool fellowship has come into existence.  Please pray for God's continued wisdom and leading as we continue to grow - more in Christ, than in numbers.
"
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."
Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome and encouraged!

May God's glory be illuminated in your lives!
