Calendar

The men of Grace OPC will be reading through and discussing Union with Christ by Sinclair Ferguson. Prayer is from 8–8:30 AM on Saturdays, then from 8:30–9:30 AM, there is discussion about the reading. Speak with Pastor Shishko if you would like the book or are interested in the studies.

This year’s church picnic will be held on August 15th, from 2–7 PM! Please bring your own meat and buns to grill out, and a side or dessert to share (last names A-L please bring a dessert, M-Z bring a side). The church will provide paper plates, cups, cutlery, and beverages. Contact Nate Garrett for more information.

All are invited to our monthly “get to know our visitors” lunch after the morning worship service. All visitors and new members are encouraged to stay after the service to eat with the pastors and congregants to become acquainted with Grace Church. This month’s luncheon is hosted by the Stafford shepherding group.

“Grace Group 1-3” meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. Video teaching will start at 6:45 followed by discussion and prayer until 8:00 pm. We are currently studying Lessons from the Upper Room by Sinclair Ferguson from Ligonier Ministries.  All are welcome!  We look forward to growing together in the Lord!  Please contact Tom Brod or Paul Archer if you have any questions.

This group meets on the first and third Fridays of each month, from 7:00–8:30 PM in the church library. The group includes sharing prayer requests with one another, praying out loud together, discussing the Mandarin version of the Westminster Confession of Faith and learning English theological terms. This group also serves as a space, outside of the Chinese worship service, that focuses on providing a familiar cultural environment for mutual support and mutual care among members whose mother tongue is Mandarin. Please contact Michael Xu or Mike McCabe for more information.

Please join us during evening worship for a hymn sing from Trinity Psalter Hymnal.

Join us for a fellowship potluck after the morning worship service. Bring a dish to share if you are able. Please label anything containing nuts.

Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM we will be having Chinese worship at Grace. Chinese worship is held once a month on the first Sunday. If you know any Chinese friends or others who speak Chinese, please invite them to participate! Please contact Mike McCabe or Michael Xu for details.

We are working through the book of Romans together, using the questions from Lydia Brownback’s study guide. Join us at 11 AM for our study and prayer. If you would like to bring lunch, we will enjoy eating together after the study. Babysitting will be provided. If you would like a copy of the study guide, please contact Lauryn Shishko.

We share prayer requests, pray for one another, and talk about the application of Scripture to a topic drawn from Tabletalk Magazine. We’d love for you to join us! Please contact Christine Wilson so the magazine article can be sent to you before the meeting.

Refresh your wardrobe and clear out your closet at our annual Clothing Swap!

Donate clean, gently used women’s clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, and accessories by Sunday, Sept. 6. Please place donations beneath the coat racks in the east wing and clearly label them “Swap.” (No men’s or children’s items, please.)

The swap will be held Saturday, Sept. 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Browse and take as many items as you’d like—no donation is required to participate, and friends are welcome to join. Come for the shopping or simply enjoy the fellowship!

Lisa Koo and Lynn Snyder are organizing the event and welcome volunteers for setup Friday evening, Sept. 11, and cleanup immediately after the swap. Remaining items will be donated to charity.

For questions or to volunteer, please contact Lisa or Lynn.

Consider the rest that fellowship brings and join us for the next Presbytery of Ohio Women’s Retreat the weekend of September 25–26, 2026. We will gather for an encouraging and fun weekend with sisters from PA, KY, WV and surrounding Ohio areas to share in worship. This year’s retreat is in Xenia, Ohio, at the Legacy Campus. Sarah Ivill will be presenting on The Covenantal Life: Appreciating the Beauty of Theology and Community.
