If you’re new to our church, we want your visit to be worshipful, informative, and comfortable. Along with the worship service, there are many other resources available including Sunday School for nursery through 5th grade, youth ministries, and adult classes. They’re a great way to more intimately find the pulse of who we are as a church and connect with others. Just ask any one of our greeters to direct the way. You can find much more on our website at graceevan.org. We’re glad to have you.
LOOKING AHEAD The following men have been nominated for the office of Elder. Elder elections will be held THIS WEDNESDAY at 6:30pm in The Fellowship Hall.
