Willing Worker's Christmas Party!!!

2011-12-20T13:36:00.000-05:00

This year the Willing Worker's hosted a Christmas Party at Mountain Gate. A great time was had by all who attended! Some of our kids from Sunday School put on a performance, which was very entertaining! Everyone enjoyed the wonderful food, and then we had a Christmas gift exchange. Small gifts were brought and exchanged by placing tickets in a hat. Santa even stopped by and he had gifts for the kids! We also listened to some readings and sang Christmas Carols. It was a wonderful party and the time really flew by. Much thanks to all the Willing Workers and the work that they provide all through the year. Through their hard work and dedication many people both locally and afar were able to be helped in some way through their many ways of raising funds. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!

Grace Rocky Hill Rally Day 2011 !!

2011-09-18T11:32:00.003-04:00

Rally Day is held each year at Grace Rocky Hill to celebrate the start of a new year for Sunday School. This year we were blessed with a spectacular sunny day and the kids had lots of fun! There was plenty of food and plenty of desserts too, with a special cake to welcome Pastor Narvesen! After a prayer and food the kids were let loose to have fun on the playground and play games. We had a sack race that Pastor Narvesen even joined in, a scavenger game, and then an egg toss which luckily didn't end up too messy! After that the children finally broke into the totes of water balloons. As you can see, some kids didn't mind getting wet! All in all it was a great time to spend together and we are blessed to have such wonderful Sunday School teachers. Thanks to everyone for planning another fun event and thanks to God for everything He provides us!

Grace Rocky Hill Lutheran Church Summer Festival Fun !!!

2011-08-15T23:31:00.052-04:00

The summer festivals Grace Rocky Hill hosts are some of my favorite things the church has. It is great to see so many people from the area come out and we are very thankful to everyone who attends. There is lots of great food with everything from chicken dinners and chili dogs to icecream and baked goods. Games are had for the children and everyone enjoys listening to the bands. The kids are off school for the summer and people enjoy catching up on what's going on lately. We have four festivals a year, two in June and two in August. If you haven't been to one yet, please stop by, we are thankful for everyone's support!

Pastor Bill's Farewell Dinner

2011-07-31T20:57:00.001-04:00

Everyone was sad to see Pastor Bill leave this summer. We understand his reason to go though. Pastor Bill will be able to live close to his family once again. Now that he is a Grandfather he will be able to live a close life together. A farewell dinner party was held this summer and it had a huge turn-out. There was plenty of food, and wonderful desserts. A joint choir even sang songs. While we will miss Pastor Bill, we all would like to wish him the very best!

Beacon House Supplies, Sunday School activity at Woodsboro area Lutheran Church

2011-03-16T20:23:00.001-04:00

In March 2011, our Youth Sunday School collected items for the Beacon House in Frederick. It's great to see the kids involved with causes that benefit others! I hope they all gain a desire to help others, that they will keep when they are older. The children decorated bags and then filled them with various products. Check out some photos Traci got below!

When dinner was done, we set up the movie projector screen. The kids all had a blast camping out on the floor in sleeping bags watching the movie and spending time together.
