Sunday School Benefit’s Future of Grace Lutheran Church

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Grace Lutheran Church, located at 493 Forest and Pennsylvania in Glen Ellyn, the Sunday School Department hosted a Brunch Benefit and Silent Auction on Sunday, February 22. Since the entire church building is undergoing rehabbing and reconstruction, the Sunday School Department needs funds to furnish and decorate rooms they will be using after the project is complete. The students and teachers chose to be the first major event that celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Grace.

Children’s Coordinator, Brenda Ciero, assembled a committee to comb through the Grace congregation for Silent Auction items as well as the Village of Glen Ellyn merchants. Grace members are reknowned for their baking and culinary expertise, so the food for the brunch was donated by these talented people. Construction should be completed by the first part of May and the Sunday School furnishings will be in place soon after.

The congregation plans to participate in the Glen Ellyn 4th of July Parade with a Marching 100 walking float. Other activities include a multi-generational formal tea with entertainment on Saturday, May 4. For information call the Grace church office at 630-469-1555, weekdays, between 9:30 and 3:00 P.M.
