What's Your 100 Year Give Back?
You may have heard as part of our Church's 100 year anniversary, we aim to give back to the community in 100’s! You can choose your “100 Give Back” and we also have a list of 100 suggestions below and on our 100 Year website page. We are trying to complete a good amount of “100’s” by our anniversary, May 19th. We also want to hear about your “Give Back.” Please let us know what you, your family, or small group are doing at Grace100@gracelcms.net. You can also be a part of our 100 donor blood drive!

Responsibility, Character, Education, Patriotism, Adventure…
Our 7th graders have the opportunity to increase responsibility, develop character, further their education, and learn about our country as they travel to Washington DC next fall.

4th/Last PTF Quarterly Forum Meeting
Face to Face Youth Group (6th-8th grade)
Our big event for the month of March is Paintball on Saturday the 23rd!! This is a great event that the kids have really enjoyed in the past!! We will have to meet at Mr. Paintball because we, unfortunately, do not have a bus right now, but if a ride is all that's keeping your kid from going let me know and we will work something out!!! We will be meeting at Mr. paintball at 11:45. Our time slot is from 12-4 so we will try and get all checked in and geared up by noon to maximize our play time. Pick up will be from Mr. Paintball at 4 pm.
The cost for this event is $40 and that includes all the gear that you will need, 500 paintballs, and lunch. We will also have water and snacks. Kids are welcome to bring extra money for drinks, snacks, and extra paintballs if they would like. Closed toed shoes are required and long sleeves and long pants are highly recommended. I would also recommend wearing a jacket. The paintballs that hit the torso tend to hurt the worst so it's good to have a little extra padding in that area haha.
There's not a cap to the number of kids that can go on this trip, but I would like to know in advance so that I can get enough food so please let me know before Saturday if your kids intend to come. We do need 20 people for the price and to have a private party so please feel free to invite friends!! The more the merrier! A permission slip is below and one will be going home in the Friday folder for 6th-8th grade. If you have questions let me know: maxwelbowman@gmail.com
