SUMMARY:Prayer Shawl Ministry
DESCRIPTION:We are a group of adult women (men are welcome too!) who crochet\, knit\, and sometimes sew or quilt for people going through a difficult time. We make prayer shawls\, lap blankets\, hats\, scarves\, baby and preemie items\, and sleeping mats made from plastic yarn (plarn) made by members of our group. We are also making soap sacks – small crocheted or knitted bags made from cotton yarn that hold a bar of soap and can be used as a washcloth – that we are donating to the Little Elm Food Bank and Oak Lawn UMC. We support local hospitals\, outreach programs for the unhoused\, and other organizations as well as our own church members and visitors. We can teach you to crochet or knit if you’d like to learn. Join us each 2nd Tuesday and make some new friends while helping others in our community! Contact Robin Caraway at rcarawaycpa@sbcglobal.net or Tina Perello at tinagp97@yahoo.com for more information.

SUMMARY:Disciple 2 Study
DESCRIPTION:Led by Rev. Laura Echols-Richter \nThis study offers a four step journey from Creation to the Early Church. Knowing it is often hard to make the commitment for the whole year\, you are invited to take one step at a time beginning with Genesis. From there\, you can choose to continue (even skipping a step if needed) as we move through the Old Testament into the Gospels and the history of the early church. No prior Bible knowledge needed. Childcare available upon request. Contact Rev. Laura Echols-Richter at laura@graceavenue.org with questions.  \nStep 1: Genesis – 7 weeks beginning September 16  \nStep 2: Exodus – 6 weeks beginning November 4  \nStep 3: Gospel of Luke – 8 weeks beginning January 20  \nStep 4: Acts and Early Church – 6 weeks beginning March 31  \nRegister: https://onrealm.org/GraceAvenueUnit/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=M2RjOTEyMjUtNjVkMy00MTIxLWI4ODMtYjM0MDAxMzUwMmVj

SUMMARY:Disciple 2 Study
DESCRIPTION:Led by Rev. Laura Echols-Richter \nThis study offers a four step journey from Creation to the Early Church. Knowing it is often hard to make the commitment for the whole year\, you are invited to take one step at a time beginning with Genesis. From there\, you can choose to continue (even skipping a step if needed) as we move through the Old Testament into the Gospels and the history of the early church. No prior Bible knowledge needed. Childcare available upon request. Contact Rev. Laura Echols-Richter at laura@graceavenue.org with questions.  \nStep 1: Genesis – 7 weeks beginning September 16  \nStep 2: Exodus – 6 weeks beginning November 4  \nStep 3: Gospel of Luke – 8 weeks beginning January 20  \nStep 4: Acts and Early Church – 6 weeks beginning March 31  \nRegister: https://onrealm.org/GraceAvenueUnit/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=M2RjOTEyMjUtNjVkMy00MTIxLWI4ODMtYjM0MDAxMzUwMmVj
