Wed 4/19

Hey all!

Let's do soup night this week. I found a yummy recipe for lasagna soup - however, it's full of gluten, dairy, and ground beef. Feel free to bring either a different soup of your choice, or a side to share.

Thanks!

GOOD FRIDAY 4/14

Hey group!

Steve is having our Newberg group do a Good Friday celebration this week, so we will be meeting on FRIDAY at 6:30 pm and not on the normal Wednesday.
Group on Friday will be very similar to normal, but will include scripture readings, prayer and communion before the meal.

For all newcomers: Welcome! We'd love to have you join us this Friday! Our address is 3715 Vittoria Way Newberg, OR 97132.

As for the dinner, let's do mediterranean quinoa bowls! Topping ideas include: chicken, steak, tofu, feta, olives (green or black), spinach, red and green peppers, pesto, roasted red pepper, artichokes, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, tzatziki sauce, etc.

You're also welcome to bring sides (i.e: pita bread and hummus/dipping sauce, salad, etc.), drinks, or desserts.

Graceys will provide quinoa and a roasted red pepper sauce.

Last thing - as you know, this coming Sunday is Easter Sunday, which means it's all hands on deck for Kids Ministry!
They're expecting to have 60 CHILDREN, so they need all the help they can get!
The goal is to have at least 16 volunteers - 3 volunteers per room, with a floater moving around in each room as needed. Please click the link below to sign up to volunteer!

Wednesday 4/5

Hey group,

This is the first Wednesday of the month, meaning it's SCATTER WEEK!

Go have coffee with a friend, have dinner with a neighbor, go give the homeless something to eat... the ideas are endless.

Love you guys. See you next week!

Wed 3/29

Good morning, group!

As many of you have asked, we ARE having group this week...and that means it's time for Brinner!
Go ahead and bring your Breakfast For Dinner favorites, such as french toast, pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage, bacon, milk, orange juice, coffee, mimosas, etc.

If we do pancakes, someone will need to bring a griddle.

The Graceys will be providing an egg meat veggie casserole. It is gluten-free (but not dairy-free).

We'll see you soon!

Second, we weren't around for St. Patrick's Day, so I thought it would be fun to do a St. Patty's theme for group this week!

We'll provide corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, onion and carrots - please bring a side dish (such as another potato dish, more cabbage, bread, salad, or anything else), drinks (beer/cider is totally acceptable), dessert...whatever you wish.

Bonus points if it's green!

See you Wednesday,
The Graceys
