Grace Family,
Happy Monday! Here's an update about all the things going on at Grace.
Church Office
The church building is still closed and all church activities and ministries are still cancelled until further notice. The majority of our staff will begin working from the office today (new office hours are 9–4 M–F). Because of this, starting today, we will no longer use the 937-766-1777 number, but we will return to using the normal office phone number: 937-766-2391.
Our leadership has formed a team to begin having conversations this week about how and when to begin opening up for gatherings at Grace. We will be in communication about decisions as soon as possible!
Updates from Pastor Craig
For updates from Pastor Craig, sign up for Pastor Craig's Friday Update.
In the hard times we are facing, there is no better place for the church to turn than to our God. We are hosting a virtual 24-hour prayer event, Day of Prayer, for our church on May 18–19. Be checking your email for more details coming soon!
Sharing and Meeting Needs
If you are willing to help meet various needs, please sign up to serve. If you are in need of help, please let us know! If you connect with someone and they have a need (physical, financial, etc.), please email Kenton Durham (Pastoral Team Administrator).
If you are interested in helping Jessica Pollock make masks (sewing, donating supplies, or cutting fabric), please email Jessica Pollock.

Final Remarks
Beloved, this is an uncertain time. We are continually reminded that the only hope, the only rest, the only security can be found in Christ. Continue fighting for sight, by clinging to His Word, of the One who is good and faithful and worthy of our trust. He is worthy.
Blessings,
