I cannot believe the beautiful weather we are having.  I wish I could somehow take credit for bringing it but if I did, I know a blizzard would soon follow along with many angry emails in my direction :)  So given the mild temperatures, I wanted to encourage you to be at Family Connection this week and let us be thankful that the Lord is in all things - the blizzards and the sunny winter days.    

The meal time is "BYOM" (Bring Your Own Meal) and we will gather in the Courtyard from 5:30-6:30pm to enjoy eating together. Then at 6:30 everything begins, including our LIFE Communities, Kid's Night Out, Stockade for Boys, Breakout for Girls, and Middle School Fusion. We hope this night plays an important role in the life of your family.
 
As has been our policy this year, the Nursery Care for Family Connection is a suggested donation of $5 and there are donation boxes available at the check-in. (Note that the donation only applies to Nursery Care. No donation is requested for Children's Ministries which begin at Kindergarten). For those who inquired, you can contribute by check for the remainder of the year; please write "FC Nursery Care" in the memo field. We sincerely thank you and would like to encourage you to continue helping us provide such great care for our little ones.
 
In the Quick Links section to the left is the FC Flyer card that has info on the ministries offered at Family Connection. As always, keep an eye out on our Family Connection page on the GC website (www.grace.org/family), also accessible via Quick Links. If you wish not to receive future emails regarding Family Connection, please click here to email Maria Kakolowski. And if you have questions, please contact me - I'd love to help.
