So blessed by the students we are able to have. Great evening last night a Youth Encounter in Carlinville. You can see Jordan’s comments below. As Marie said when she shared the same post, this is her (our) why. Seeing kids growing in their faith and praising the God they are learning to serve.

📚 Introducing….the After School Study Spot! ✏️

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new ministry through Grace Academy—the After School Study Spot!

The Study Spot will provide FREE one-on-one academic support for North Mac students in grades K–5. Students can bring the schoolwork they need help with and spend 30 minutes working alongside one of our Academic Coaches in areas like math, reading, language arts, spelling, and more.

🎉 Come check it out at our Open House!

📅 Monday, October 5
⏰ 4:00–7:00 p.m. — stop by anytime!
📍 Grace SBC | 302 W. Wright St., Virden

Come tour the Study Spot, meet our Academic Coaches and Hospitality Hosts, ask questions, and see what this new ministry is all about!

Registration is officially OPEN! The After School Study Spot begins Tuesday, October 13. Students may register for one 30-minute session each week.

👉 Register at https://gracesbc.com/graceacademy/

We’re excited for this new opportunity to come alongside students and families in our community.

**Help us spread the word and share this post with a family who could benefit from the Study Spot!**
