Grace's Gracious Giveaway - 8-Noon Saturday - November 8

Once again, Grace Lutheran Church will be hosting Grace's Gracious Giveaway from 8-Noon on Saturday, November 8.  For nineteen years Grace Lutheran and the community gather clothing and other good condition items in the Grace Lutheran Fellowship Hall from Tuesday to Friday.  On Saturday from 8-Noon anyone is welcome to come and take what they can use for free.  The leftover items are then donated to area organizations.


Pastor Kuhfal said "The name comes from the fact that God graciously gives us what we need both physically and spiritually and more.  He gives us more than we need, so that we might graciously giveaway to others."  Through the years, the event has extended more and more to the community, with members of the Neligh and surrounding communities, donating and volunteering for the event.  The hope each year is both to fill the Fellowship Hall with "good extras" and then to empty it all to those who can use those items.  Even what is left is a blessing, for it too goes to those outside the community that have needs.
