OBITUARY

Nancy Lynne Edwards

September 29, 1962 – February 9, 2021

Nancy Lynne Edwards, 58, of Sacramento, California, passed away on Tuesday, February 9, 2021. Nancy was a graduate of Valparaiso University and went on to be a Special Education Resource Teacher for 35 years. She was an active member of her home church, Town and Country Lutheran, where she participated in various music programs including organizing youth ensembles and playing handbells. Nancy had a passion for seeing the world and she shared the love of traveling with her sons.

She was born on September 29, 1962 in Muscatine, Iowa. She is preceded in death by her mother, Lynne Boone.

Nancy is survived by her loving children, Nathan and Nicholas; father, Roger Boone, DVM; sister, Joyce Karrfalt (Eric); and brother, David Boone.

Nancy wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to her dear friends and those from her church family that provided so much support during her time of need. A special thank you to her two care-givers, Melissa and Ester, for being such a light when they were with her. She was overwhelmed by the kindness and love they all shared; a true symbol of God’s grace in action.

Visitation will be from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Friday, February 26, 2021 at Grace Lutheran Church (1787 Klerner Lane, New Albany, Indiana). Her Funeral Service will follow at 1:00 pm EST/10:00 PT on Friday, at the church. Nancy will be laid to rest at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Corydon, Indiana. For those not able to attend the funeral service, you may watch it live on the church’s website at www.glcna.org .

Contributions in Nancy’s memory may be made to Lakeview Ministries Foundation/Scholarship Fund (LCMS) – (13500 W Lake Rd, Seymour, IN 47274) in order to send kids to summer camp or the El Camino Fundamental High School Band Program (4300 El Camino Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821) where her sons attended and she passionately volunteered in support of their music events.

Annual Chili Supper and Dessert Auction And New this year:
Masked Singer
Grace Lutheran Edition

Timeline:

Friday, March 12th: Final day to preorder Chili and Dessert Platters

LINK to PREORDER Chili Supper NOW

Saturday, March 13th: Online Dessert Auction from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Sunday, March 14th: Preordered Chili and Dessert Platter
pick-up at the gym doors from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Sunday, March 14th: Masked Singer Grace Lutheran Edition live on
Facebook and YouTube starting at 6:00 pm

We may be doing things a little differently this year but, this is one weekend and one night you do not want to miss! Due to COVID-19, we are unable to hold the Chili Cook-off and Dessert Auction in our usual way. For the health and safety of our Grace Family, we will be moving the dessert auction to an online auction on Saturday, March 13th from 5pm-9pm. We will only be able to auction off 20 desserts online and these can be picked up on Sunday, March 14th from 9:00am-1:00pm.

Chili will be prepared by former 1st place winners and will be available for pick-up in 1 quart to-go containers on Sunday, March 14th for $10 each. One quart of chili feeds about 2 people and you will have the option of Mild, Hot, and Most Original. This chili will be served cold in the hopes that you will reheat it at home Sunday evening for “The Masked Singer Grace Lutheran” edition live show. In addition to chili, we will also be selling dessert platters for $5. Each dessert platter will have four different pieces of dessert for you to enjoy. Dessert donations must be dropped off in the gym on Saturday, March 13th from 9am-11am. In order to accommodate everyone, chili and dessert platers must be preordered by March 12th. You can preorder these by going online to glcna.com or by calling Karen in the church office.

The Chili Cook-off is of course a wonderful fundraiser for the youth here at Grace but it is also a night that we as a congregation come together and have a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and make great memories together. In order to keep the spirit of the event, we will be hosting “The Masked Singer Grace Lutheran” edition as a live show that will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube on Sunday, March 14th starting at 6:00pm. Have you ever seen the popular hit show The Masked Singer? Six members of our Grace family have agreed to dress up in costume and sing in this live show. Their identities are hidden, and you will try to guess who they are by their voice and the clues they give. There will be three rounds that our singers compete in. After each round, you get to vote on who you want to go on to the next round by donating money to the youth in that character’s name on our church website glcna.com. The character with the most donations at the end of the night will win a trophy.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for all the support you have shown the youth over the years. It is because of your support and generosity that we can go on mission trips, youth gatherings, lock-ins, servant events, and so much more. You are making a difference and bringing the gospel to the youth of the congregation, the community, and abroad.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY NOTES

9:35 Kids Worship for Parents & Children

This new offering was very successful and enjoyed by all!
We have the dates of February 21 & 28 planned!

Grace Notes available Online

Grace Notes started as a children’s version of the confirmation level Sermon Notes. It has grown to two full pages front and back with Bible verses according to the weekly church readings, pictures illustrating stories or verses, a prayer box, and puzzles. Grace Notes are part of the Grace Packs (single use church bags) available on Sundays.

Grace Notes are an awesome way to build on the online service as an opportunity for devotion and discussion.

Welcome to the Grace Lutheran Church and School web site. There is a variety of information here regarding our congregation and our beliefs. Lutherans are Bible-believing, sacramental Christians who trace their roots back to Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. There have been Lutherans since 1517, particularly in Germany and Scandanavia. Lutherans in America followed large immigrations from Europe in the 1840’s and 1850’s.

The congregation at Grace was founded in 1927 in a small room over a pool hall on State Street in New Albany. The congregation moved to Tenth and Oak, then to Charlestown Road, before building its current facilities on Klerner Lane in 1974. The congregation now numbers just over 1100 souls. We worship at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on Sundays and at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday evenings. The pastors are Rev. Bruce Kischnick and Rev. Matt Woods.
