Thinking about visiting Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield for the first time? Haven’t been in a long while and looking for the perfect time to come back?
There’s no better time than this Sunday, when Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield will host West Springfield Ecumenical Discovery Month. Worshipers from several area congregations will gather together at Grace this Sunday at a special time of 10:00 a.m. to worship as a single, united West Springfield Christian community.
Once again this year, Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield will join Mittineague United Methodist Church to help serve meals to the 4-H youth groups at the 2009 Eastern States Exposition (The Big E). Volunteers are needed to help serve three meals each day during the expo. In return, volunteers receive a meal prior to the one being served & free passes to The Big E. Free parking or shuttle is also provided. The deadline to volunteer is Sept. 6, 2009. For more information, email the church office.

Help the Springfield Rescue Mission reach out to needy children by collecting and donating new backpacks and school supplies. Last year, the Springfield Rescue Mission handed out 518 filled backpacks, and hopes to reach that number again this year.
In this week’s sermon, Pastor Harman discusses how we are all special and precious in God’s eyes and called to be the Body of Christ in this world, as well as the benefits of worship and the Eucharist.
Interested in making a difference by helping those in your community? How about those in your own congregation?
Wednesday, Aug. 12, following the 6:00 p.m. worship (approximately 7:00 p.m.), the Congregational Care Team is holding a sub-group meeting specifically for those who are interested in learning about actively participating in visitations to those in the Grace community who are homebound and no longer able to come to worship or other church activities.
This meeting will focus on how to support Pastor Harman in maintaining connections with these individuals, their families and offering spiritual and other support to them. It’s very rewarding work with a minimal time committment (as little as an hour a month).
Grace Lutheran Church of West Springfield is an ELCA-affiliated Lutheran congregation. It's an exciting time to be a part of Grace, as the community is rediscovering its role in God's mission, both here in Western Massachusetts and in the world.
