A Secret Sister Brunch - Sunday, Oct. 13th @ 11am

Secret Sister Fall
All women are invited to join us for brunch of a very special kind.

A couple of times a year, we gather for a festive meal, and we draw names of a fellow "sister." During the months that follow, we pray for our sister, buy her small tokens of friendship and send her cards. 

At the next Secret Sister Brunch, we reveal to each other who we had as our "secret sister," and then we start over again.  As we continue this cycle, we each are blessed with more and more sisters.
  
Our Featured Teacher this week is...
Miss Christina Grace     Miss Grace

 

Miss Grace is the 3rd and 4th grade teacher as well as our youth director. She grew up in Lancaster, California and attended Grace Lutheran Church and School. She graduated from Concordia University, Irvine in 2006 with a BA in Liberal Studies and completed her credential work from Concordia in January 2008 for her preliminary teaching credential and CLAD (Cross-cultural, Language, and Academic Development aka Certification to Teaching English Language Learners) and also took some additional classes for a Master's in Education. In 2012 Miss Grace received her clear credential by completing course work from UC San Diego.

 

While at Concordia, she was involved in many activities; her most favorite was being in the hand bell choir. In that involvement, many tours were taken to various parts of the world and United States. Her two favorite tours were going to China and the East Coast.

 

In her spare time Miss Grace enjoys doing puzzles, reading, watching and playing sports, keeping up with TV shows, and spoiling her

two cats Lilo and Stitch. Lilo and Stitch love to play in water, and Miss Grace often finds their toys tucked in the covers of her bed when she wakes up in the morning.
