Christmas Missions Emphasis
For the past several years we have blessed our missionaries with a special Christmas gift. Missionary life can be difficult for many reasons and finances are often tight. We want to let them know we stand with them in prayer and financial support.
Donations will be shared equally between our 9 missionaries who are serving around the world. Your gifts are deeply appreciated and send a message of encouragement to these dear people.
Donation baskets will be passed during the service on 12/14 and 12/21.
Christmas Eve Service 6pm
Join the festivities at our Christmas Eve service this year! This is a great opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, coworkers and visiting family to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
2026 Proposed Budget Voting on 12/21

Copies are available on the tables in the lobby. Detailed report available by request, email monica@sierragrace.org.

Church Center Online Directory is Available!
The Online Directory is available now! Within the next week you should be receiving an invitation to join the online directory in Church Center. If you haven’t received an invitation email, send a request to monica@sierragrace.org
The directory is a private place for the people in your church to communicate with one another. Only people invited to the directory can see the others or share their information. When you invite someone, they will receive an email with their contact information and the option to approve their listing in the directory. Each invited person can choose the information they want to show about themselves or their household.
For security, your email address will not appear, but others can send you an email through Church Center. You will then have the opportunity to decide whether or not to respond and share your email with them.
Download the Church Center app to stay updated about events, sign-ups, giving and small groups.
Be sure to update your profile the first time you login. We transferred information from our last database, and want to be sure all of your contact information is correct. Also, create your household if it hasn’t already been done, add your birthdate, anniversary date, and add a current photo. This will help tremendously when trying to remember the name of that person you recently met.
SGF en Español Available Now
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.
