Particpants invited to tornado recovery event

Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield invites the local community to participate in an important tornado recovery event.

Raising Hope Together, the greater West Springfield long-term recovery group, is sponsoring Stronger Than A Tornado II, a cleanup and rebuilding event, taking place Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The help of as many skilled and non-skilled participants is needed for debris removal and cleanup, as well as to repair, rebuild and stabilize homes and neighborhoods in West Springfield. Even though it’s been nearly a year since the tornado, much work is left to be done.

To learn more, call 413-734-HOPE (4673).

Be one of ‘God’s Gardeners’

Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield is looking for individuals who are looking to have fun in the sun this summer with Grace’s many new gardening projects.

All ages and skill/mobility levels are needed. Whether you are a farmer, a hobbyist, or even a scourge to all things green, we need you! Please come to our first planning meeting, April 29, 2012, after worship to plan and coordinate our efforts.

For more information, please contact Ryan at missions@gracelutheranonline.com.

Update: Vendor Showcase 2012 cancelled

Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield has cancelled its 2012 Vendor Showcase event. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope to hold this event again in the future. Vendors who had reserved space for the event have been notified and application fees were returned.
