TNT Program
The Twenties and Thirties (TNT) group at Grace Church
encourages sharing of common life concerns and Christian fellowship, as we
gather for social occasions and service projects. Our TNT community is
ever-expanding, so we welcome all interested persons! Come join in one or
two activities and let a member of our clergy know you’d like to join our
e-mail list, so we can get acquainted.
Our group is varied, interesting, and “interested” in
community activities—made up of folks just starting out and juggling bills,
rent, work and play in our early 20s to those of us well seasoned in life’s
hurdles and blessings—singles, parents and couples—all are welcome.
Coordinators
Heather Hurley is the 2008 vestry program
coordinator for the TNT program and Marianne Swearingen is the non-vestry
coordinator.

Each month:
TNT strives to gather for some social occasion monthly, either at church
(potluck and games) or at someone’s home (happy hour, dinner, afternoon
tea). Good conversation is always found, as are usually good snacks and
fun stories, and sometimes an organized game or two!
-
Spiritual Moms:
The Spirituality of
Motherhood group meets on Tuesday mornings from 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM in the church library to
socialize, pray and discuss topics
related to motherhood. Child care is provided, although infants are welcome to remain
with their mothers. Contact Alison Smith for more information.

Chili
Bowl:
Grace Church’s Chili Bowl—Each January, we sponsor and host this annual evening chili
cook-off as a fundraiser. Each of Grace’s program areas and ministries
offer a pot or two of chili for the tasting, and our dinner guests “vote”
by adding to their favorite tables’ tip jars.
-
Easter:
Easter Baskets for needy children—TNT and Grace’s Outreach Committee make,
collect and deliver Easter baskets for children (in Washington DC and
Arlandria, Virginia) who otherwise would not receive any gifts at Easter.
The actual baskets of goodies are donated by Grace parishioners, including
TNT members.
-
Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving baskets for needy families—TNT personally delivers baskets of
food, prep items and other goodies to area families. The sign-up and
collection of Thanksgiving baskets is coordinated with the Grace Outreach
committee; the actual baskets of goodies are donated by Grace
parishioners.
