Calling All Interested in Becoming New Members of Grace!

Posted on April 9, 2012 by

Would you like to become a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Tomahawk, Wisconsin? Do you know someone who may be interested in becoming a member of Grace?  Pastor Mark and Pastor Rebecca invite all those interested in becoming members of Grace to learn about the history of Grace, the ELCA, Grace’s vision for discipleship (following Jesus), its ministries, and, of course, its fellowship!

The spring new member schedule is:
Sunday, April 15:  Lunch at 12:00 noon —We will introduce the staff of Grace and learn about the history of Grace, our greater-church relationship with the ELCA, and Grace’s Mission and Vision.  Refreshments will be served.
Sunday, April 22:  Discipleship session at 9:45 am—We will discuss what it means to be a disciple of Christ—a follower of Jesus.
Sunday, April 29:  Ministry session at 9:45 am—We will discuss the ministries of Grace, the ministry of your own life and its impact on your life, family, community and the world.
Sunday, May 6:  Evening meal at 5:00 pm with pastors and sponsors.
Sunday, May 13:  Installation of new members during worship— We will officially welcome you and your family into the family of Grace Lutheran.  Your sponsor (member of Grace) will introduce you and your family during the worship service that best fits you.

       All current members of Grace are invited to refresh and renew their understanding of Grace – its ministries and beliefs – by attending any or all of the sessions.  Attendance at all sessions is not mandatory for becoming a member.  Rather, it is a way to connect and learn together about each other, about Grace, and about Grace’s ministries.  All learning sessions are open to everyone, and new members are encouraged to attend.  All members are invited to the welcoming worship service Sunday, May 13, 2012.
If you are interested in becoming a member or would like to sponsor a new member/family, please call Debbie Hetzel in the church office, or Pastor Rebecca (715) 453-4066), so that preparations can be made accordingly.  We look forward to seeing you!

Council/Leadership Meeting – Saturday, March 3, 2012

Posted on March 1, 2012 by

 Council/Leadership meeting will be this Saturday March 3, at 9:00 AM, at Tomahawk Community Bank!  With this great topic & presenter – all are welcome to come! Bring your spouse – invite others!
Pastor Joy Mortensen-Wiebe & her assistant, Tania Spofford will lead us on the “missional” emphasis in this 21st Century.
As less people walk in to church on their own, it is important for us to be out there living, speaking, & encouraging in a way that communicates God’s Good News to the many who are hungering for this but looking in the empty corners of life. Joy will lead us in the 3D mission of discovery-discerning-discipleship! Joy’s title now is Director of Evangelical Mission for our Synod. So she will be telling her story of why this is so important, why she is so into this, and how she sees, has learned, and is urging Grace to unite as a congregation around a greater awareness of the realities of this 21st Century and the amazing opportunities and ways we have to invite people into God’s Good News!

Please RSVP to Grace (453-4066 – ordering subs in for lunch) or e-mail Debbie at dhetzel@gracetomahawk.org.
