As of 11:30 a.m. Saturday:

Grace WILL REMAIN OPEN and hold services at our regularly scheduled time of 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning, Dec. 20, 2009, for our annual Christmas children’s pageant.  We are anticipating a snow storm arriving in our area Saturday evening and tapering off Sunday morning around mid-day.  We will make every effort to have our parking lot and entry ways ploughed by 9:00 a.m.  However, we are asking that everyone take a look at your local circumstances and make decisions based on safety first.  We would love to have you attend our children’s pageant, but we want you to be safe and able to join us in the future even more!  Thank you and God bless!”
