Adult Programs at Grace

Grace offers several different programs for adults. Here are some of the offerings.

Bible Study

Grace offers several opportunities for adults to continue to grow in the wonderful truths of God’s Word. Sessions take place at 8 a.m. Sunday morning, and at 2 and 7 p.m. Tuesday. Topics range from study of individual books of the Bible to discussions of how the Bible addresses contemporary issues. We also off opportunities for personal Bible study on our church website.

Choir

Psalm 100 proclaims: “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Grace’s adult choir participates in worship services from September through May and is open to all confirmed members.

Women’s Circle

This group, open to all women, meets monthly except during the summer. Its purpose is to promote and support the congregation’s service committees as well as the world missions of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Meetings typically begin with a Bible study and continue with a variety of activities, such as a November Holiday Tea, Lenten suppers, attendance at spring and fall rallies, and serving at various church functions.

Jesus Cares Ministry

Grace reaches out to people with developmental disabilities. The group meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of the month in September through December, and March through May. The one-hour session features opening and closing devotions, Bible story, crafts, games, singing — and everyone goes home with a snack and smile.

Fellowship Opportunities

Our Fellowship Committee plans several activities for our members and guests every year.

If you’ve lived in Hutchinson for a while, you might have already learned about Grace, thanks to our annual National Night Out Party, which attracts nearly 500 people on the first Tuesday in August. We also hold an autumn bonfire, a trip to a Minnesota Twins game, movie nights, tours, special meals, dartball and other activities.

What our Members say

“I’ve always liked the smaller congregations and when I came to Hutchinson and visited the other congregations I liked this one best of all. Sharon Radant came up to me the first Sunday I was here and introduced me to her family. On the next Sunday she came up to me again, and she made it feel like I had something of a connection here. I now know the people … This is a group I feel comfortable with.”

“What we believe does not change. It stays the same. We grow in the Word. The lesson plans we use in Sunday School, for example, change in the way we present the word in today’s environment. Our methods of preaching the Word in Sunday School, or how the Pastor preaches a sermon, is always based on the truth. I thank God I’m here because if I would have stayed at the church I grew up in I would have accepted the changes that I don’t accept today.”
