The Grove Sunday Bulletin
February 22, 2026
On Sunday mornings, we gather together at 10:00am for a time of worship that involves singing together, preaching God's Word, and a time of remembrance through communion. The gathering of the church is not limited to our four walls. If you can’t join us in person, we’d love for you to tune in online!
Manna Ministry is currently in need of ground beef and boneless chicken breast donations. Items can be dropped off at the church, or you can give monetarily by clicking the button below and selecting “Manna Ministry Donation” in the dropdown menu.
We also welcome ongoing donations of new or gently used clothing — especially men’s clothing, but women’s and children’s items are needed as well.
Thank you for your continued generosity in supporting this ministry. If you have questions, please contact Joan Fries.

Give a monetary donation (used to purchase items and help cover shipping costs, which average $35 per box)
