November 10: Stewardship Commitment Sunday
With great thanksgiving, we hope that you might join us in this year’s Stewardship Campaign: Giving in Gratitude; Thanking and Trusting in God. We truly believe that generosity produces gratitude and that gratitude begets generosity. We hope that together we might give generously with grateful hearts, grateful for everything that God has done in our lives and grateful for the gift of Grace that has been our home. When we give, either in talent or with money, we are helping to grow not only our programs but also our mission to “Know Christ, and Make Him Known.” We hope that you will join us as we commit our pledges to Grace for the upcoming year. For your convenience, or if you are unable to be with us in worship on November 10th, online pledge cards are available here. There is space included where you may identify new ways where you would like to get involved in our life, ministry, and fellowship.
November 13: Grace Women’s Luncheon
Join the Women of Grace lunch on Wednesday, November 13 at Bella’s Restaurant (501 Old York Road) from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm. The cost is $20. The set menu is varied and there will be something for everyone. Please RSVP by contacting the church office.
Our church’s $3.1 million renovation project, which is creating accessible, safe and attractive spaces for our next generation and will enhance our role in the local community, is on track, on budget and on schedule!
Construction Highlights
Phase One got underway on June 10 with extensive demolition in the downstairs rooms. The work over the summer has included a top-to-bottom redo and resizing of the Palmer Room kitchen, a major electrical upgrade, installation of big pieces of a new HVAC system that includes new pipes and heating/cooling equipment in each of the lower-level rooms and the second-level nursery school rooms.
Delran Builders and the church’s construction team have been working together to maintain the work schedule, iron out issues and look ahead to next steps.
We expect to finish Phase One by mid-October. This phase encompasses all the rooms on the ground floor of the building except for Muyskens Hall and the adjacent kitchen. Those two large spaces are the focus of Phase Two. We are expecting to finish modernizing those spaces and complete the entire project by December 31.
Project Funding
We are grateful to those who have donated to this ambitious campaign. Please know that it is not too late to support this project. Unforeseen expenses do arise as we open walls and ceilings in this elegant, old building, and each dollar counts.
A matching grant was awarded to the church in October 2022. While we await the funds from this $1.54 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant, our grant and campaign teams have been working on the necessary paperwork requirements.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office.
