Granite Bay Main Beach

This Sunday, August 30th, the church sanctuary will be closed due to a recarpeting project, so instead of our regular services at the church, we’ll have a mini-service at 10:45am at Folsom Lake, followed by baptisms and a bunch of fellowship!

Contact Dan Clark at 530-401-6024 if you would like to carpool with him from the church.

There are picnic tables, grills, restrooms, volleyball, plenty of sand and lots of water. Bring a chair, blanket, shade, towels, food, drinks, paddleboard, swim trunks, etc. It’ll be a great chance to spend time together.

Directions: Douglas Blvd (eastbound) ends at the Folsom Lake entrance and pay station. Parking is $12 unless you have the Golden Poppy Pass. Go straight until you see the sign for Granite Bay Main Beach, and turn right. Our reserved picnic sites (A and B) are on the far right side of the beach.

The deacons are committed to being good stewards of our church’s finances and sharing financial updates with the congregation regularly. Through the end of July, our giving/income has been close to what we budgeted. Thank you for your generosity! Our expenses have been temporarily higher than expected, but we’re being careful and the church is financially healthy.

Kristen is looking for a couple of volunteers who can help her with planning, setup and cleanup for monthly Senior Moments Lunches. They are held September through May on Wednesdays at noon in the Fellowship Hall.

If you feel called to help please contact Kristen at 530-401-7289. Without enough help, we may have to discontinue this ministry which brings so much joy and fellowship to our adult seniors.

Also if you know of anyone who may enjoy preparing food for this event, please contact Kristen as well. Approximately 40 – 60 adults typically attend the lunch.

We are so excited for one more hurrah! We will be meeting outside of Tango Frozen Yogurt by the fire pit at 6PM, pick up at 8PM.

Multiple teams led by our amazing volunteers will scour through Downtown Auburn in search of heavily disguised volunteers and leaders in the church. The winning team will get their Frozen Yogurt paid for!

Women’s Change Group will help you discover why you do the things you do and will provide the insight, tools and support needed to help you overcome unhealthy thoughts, beliefs and behaviors.

We’ll spend 6- to 8-months working through the Genesis Process Study in an intimate and confidential setting.

Dates and location to be determined based on those attending. Please contact Carina Schilling at 530-615-1730 for more info.

We all have problems that linger-on, whether it’s bad health, work layoff, challenging attitudes, or hurting relationships, Stephen Ministry Care Givers are trained to listen to and relate to these problems in a non-judgmental way. We offer one on one care to anyone open to asking Jesus for healing. We are a group of trained caregivers that support one another in providing care for others.

Here are some situations we may help:

• Things that you may not share with others because you are stuck, and would welcome confidential care.

• Helping you to bear burdens that are difficult to share.

• Giving encouragement and confidential help in overcoming your problems.

• Realizing that problems are large and need assistance or referrals for professional help.

We are also looking for people interested in a 2-year commitment to become trained Stephen Ministers. Training will begin in October.

Contact us through the church office 530-889-9089 or monica@sierragrace.org.

More general information is available on the Stephen Ministry website below.

We are excited to announce that live translations of the worship service will be available in multiple languages including Spanish.  The program will also transcribe in English, which will give our deaf and hard of hearing community a way to participate.

This is a great opportunity to tell others about how they can be connected in their native language while attending here at Sierra Grace.

There is a poster in the lobby with a QR code and instructions to access the translation.

Below is the link that is only live during our second worship service which begins at 10:45am.
