Scam Alert!!!  Pastor Megan is once again being impersonated by scammers.  Pastor Megan will never ask you to buy and send gift cards by text message or e-mail.  Please report these messages if you receive one.  Tips to spot a scam message:  wrong phone number; poor grammar, spelling, or punctuation; request is out of the ordinary; pressure to respond immediately.  Be safe & be well.

The 2021 Annual Directory is available in the Narthex! 
Please pick one up for yourself and if you know of a member that is not able to get to church one for them as well.  If you are not able to get to church, we would be happy to send one to you.  Give the church office a call!
 
Meeker County Area Food Shelf announces they have developed our Mobile Food Shelf Program.  With this program, families or individuals in need can contact us at (320) 693-7661 (and let us know what foods they need/like) and we will deliver the food directly to the homes of those families.  We will be consistently visiting the Grove City area on the 2nd Wednesdays of every month, starting March 10th!  Please use the contact number above, if you or a family member could use this helpful program.

  • Please follow the direction of the ushers in being seated and dismissed.

  • Hymnals and other items in the pews will be removed.
  • Please dispose of your bulletin when you leave worship.

  • Worship on KLFD Radio, Cable Access TV, and Facebook will continue on Sundays and Wednesdays. There is no pressure to show up for the indoor worship service.
