    Groups offered Spring 2022

    Quilters & More | Pat Ivaska
    A sweet group of women who share the passion of quilting. Each meeting time consists of a devotional, time to give prayer requests, show and tell, and either a demonstration or workday. All women are welcome. If you have ever wanted to learn to quilt and spend time with precious, godly women, check out this group.
    Side by Side (a ministry for medical wives)
    "With Us in the Wilderness: A Study of Numbers" by Lauren Chandler | Emily Oliver
    The Book of Numbers is a story of identity, wilderness, and God. This in-depth study of the Book of Numbers and God's people shows how even when they rebelled, God's love and promises remained. Contact Emily for more information.
     
    The Side-by-Side group also has an evening meeting led by Jan Driessnack in her home. Contact Jan via email or at (309) 360-8016 to register for the evening study.

    Moms in Prayer
    Praying for our children

    Moms In Prayer is an international group whose vision is that “every school in the world would be covered with prayer.” MIP helps moms (and grandmothers) in their local schools to pray for the children, teachers, staff, administration, and school board. They meet for one hour a week.

    We at Grace Presbyterian are happy to host several groups as listed below.

    You may contact Elizabeth Parker for more information about an existing group or to start one for your school.
