God of surprises, break through the life of Grace Church and its people. Reveal to us new ways we can be faithful and fruitful, moving into the future you have in store.

A GIFT OF HOPE

A note from Roberta Longfellow:

Advent Greetings to all! A great opportunity awaits you to give a wonderful gift to someone lonely and without much hope—a gift that will let them know of God’s love and your willingness to be a friend. Letter writers are much needed for both women and men who are incarcerated in Ohio prisons. Our HOPE Letters ministry reaches out to those who want someone to show they care by writing one letter a month for a year. That’s 20 minutes a month

to share love and hope for the future. It can be an extraordinary gift for both the writer and those who receive the letters!

Please think about this (perhaps a New Year’s resolution!). For more information, contact Roberta Longfellow at 937-654-6032 or longfellowroberta@yahoo.com.

MEN’S BREAKFAST

The men will gather for a hearty breakfast and good conversation on Tuesday, December 17, at 8:30 a.m. at The Original Pancake House, 1516 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. Join in, won’t you?
