Mini-Biographies of Grace Liturgists

One of the blessings of being without an assigned priest for our congregation is that we hear different voices on Sunday mornings. The priests listed below celebrate Eucharist (Holy Communion) most Sundays at Grace.
Our healing services (Celebrations of Wholeness and Healing) are led by Hawley Todd, TSSF. We conduct these services once a month at our Sunday worship time and on the second Wednesday evening of every month.

The total camp cost for all grades is: $275.00. Grade level goes by rising grade level, so what grade they will be in the following school year.  Please see the registration form link below:

There is also an option for Family Camp. For more info or registration for that, please see link below:

http://dsoyouth.org/procter-summer-camp/family-camp-registration/

 ALSO: there are a couple ways this summer to stay involved while you are away from camp:

• Sign up to be a camp staff sponsor - this entails praying for this staffer throughout the summer and possibly having some correspondence through snail mail as well.

• Love to sing camp songs? Let us know and we can get the music to you!

• Would you like to remember a few camp graces? Want to use them in your home before meals?

If you are interested in any of the above, contact Anny Stevens-Gleason  ayouth@diosohio.org
