2021 Thanksgiving Ingathering

It’s that time of year again. School supplies will be going on sale in July, and we will be accepting donations for the 2021 Ingathering soon. You may place your items in the receptacle in the church entryway. These items are used during natural disasters and, more generally, to help those in need.

Below are the items needed to complete each kit. If you have any questions about the items, you may contact Lisa Blair (641-223-2372 (please text first); lb29nholding@yahoo.com) or Jean Kerber (979-733-3697). For information about making the cloth bags, contact Susan Ryon (515-829-6511). Click on the picture above to get the list of items needed.

The Open Table

As our name implies, we model our group off the belief in the Methodist Church that all are welcome to the communion table, and we likewise welcome ALL (including our LGBT family, anyone who has been hurt by the church, and agnostics) to our weekly discussions.

If you are looking to reconnect with others following a year of COVID isolation, if you are interested in wrestling with questions of our common humanity, if you are searching for another way to hear God’s voice, or if you just like the idea of sharing light snacks and soda with other flawed humans – please consider joining us for a night! Come to the table. Thursdays, 6 pm in room 201.

Grace Preschool

Award winning high-quality preschool, part-time or full-time child care for children from 2 to 5. Click on the cute kids and their science project above to learn more about our preschool.
