Say Cheese!

Join us for a few picture days at Grace.  Everyone who comes to get their picture taken will get a free print and a collection of photos of our congregation will be hung in Brotherhood Hall and celebrate not only our members, but also the families of the Grace Infant Care Center.

Photo Days:

(please come to at least one, this is an important evangelism project)

• Tuesday, September 22nd (5-7pm) 
• Sunday, Sept 27th (11:30am-1:30pm)
• Sunday, Oct 4th (11:30am-1:30pm)

If you are traveling during the picture days listed above, Pastor Megan will work with you to attend a picture day at one of the other SF CARES activities, so we can get everyone up on the wall. 

Pastor Megan will also be using the photos in future projects to invite new members to join our church so please plan to attend at least one of the picture days!  

Recent Happenings

Recent Happenings Grace hosted a neighborhood meeting led by Supervisor Katy Tang about building and zoning rules.  About 80 neighbors attended the meeting.   Grace and St. Paulus Lutheran handed out ashes on Ash Wednesday to commuters at the Civic Center Bart Station.   Check out the newly painted gathering space, in the room that used to be the church office.  The office moved to the room that was previously rented by another congregation.   Our Lenten Soup Supper was held in our newly painted gathering space where the office used to be.  Join us this Thursday at 6:30pm for our next Lenten Soup Supper.

Bring baked goods to sell to raise money for pigs!  

Each pig is $30
 A pig in the pen is like money in the bank. Within months, a tiny piglet grows to weigh over 200 pounds! Should a family have a failed harvest, medical expense or other unexpected financial need, this pig can be sold for much-needed cash at the market.  You can learn more about this project at ELCA's good gifts.
