***Security Alert***

For the security of the church building and the safety of all staff and church members in the building, it is very important that all exit doors out of Grace be locked and latched When you enter or exit the building, unless the doors need to stay wide open.  Front entry doors have been found unlatched when staff has entered the building in the mornings.  Church staff and members have noticed community members wandering or storing their belongings around the church building, so the security of our building is even more important.

Grace member Kathy Vohland has moved.

Cards to her would be appreciated.

Please contact the church office to get her new address

Press Release
Alcoholics Anonymous:  COVID-19 Response

Life without drinking is still possible during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Corvallis—Local Alcoholics Anonymous groups have temporarily closed the doors of face-to-face meetings due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, those struggling with drinking are still in need of support during this difficult time. Those in need can still access the support AA provides through the local hotline and virtual meetings.

The local hotline number is (541) 967-4252. It is answered 24-hours a day, seven days a week by members of the local AA community.
Many local and global AA groups are hosting meetings virtually.  You can attend virtual meetings on your computer, smartphone, or by dialing in. Attendees will remain anonymous and need only introduce themselves by their first names.

To access both local and global meetings occurring online 24-hours a day, visit the District 21 website:  https://aaoregon-district21.org/
