Grace Lutheran Church “Grace Weekly” – Constant Contact weekly newsletter for Feb. 23, 2017

Weekend Worship
This coming Sunday we conclude the time after Epiphany by celebrating the Transfiguration of our Lord, when Jesus went up a mountain and showed himself to be divine. Then next Wednesday we observe Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, as Jesus walks up another mountain and shows himself to be human. Come to worship, to praise this Jesus Christ, to hear him speak, and to partake of his body.
 
Worship Services at Grace this weekend include:
Saturday at 5:00;
Sunday at 7:459:00 and 11:15
 
The Children’s Chorus of Carroll County
will be singing at the 11:15 service.

  We hope to see you at worship this weekend.

Are you passionate about protecting the coverage that the ACA provides? Have suggestions on how it can be improved?

Are you one of the 291,000 Marylanders enrolled in the ACA funded Medicaid expansion?

Are you one of the 142,872 Marylanders enrolled in a Qualified Health Plan?

Are your friends, family members, co-workers, or neighbors receiving crucial services from the ACA?

We will have a panel of professionals who will share their experience with the ACA as well as a panel of Carroll County residents who rely on the ACA for treatment and life sustaining medications.

Following the panel discussion, we will have an open forum. This is YOUR chance as a member of our community to let our elected officials know how much the ACA means to you, your family, your neighbors, and friends.
