1927 - 2027 Centennial celebration
Grace Lutheran Church – Smithville, Texas
Celebrating 100 Years of Ministry
Grace Lutheran Church is preparing to celebrate 100 years of God’s faithfulness to our congregation and community. Throughout the coming year, we will gather for special worship services and events that reflect on the Lord’s work among us and renew our commitment to the Gospel for the next generation.
Our centennial theme is drawn from the life of the Church in Christ:
Rooted in Grace – Growing in Grace – Sharing Grace – Remaining in Grace
For a century, the Lord has planted this congregation firmly in His Word and Sacraments. By His grace, we have grown in faith, shared the Gospel with our neighbors, and remained steadfast in Christ through every season of life. As Scripture reminds us:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
— Hebrews 13:8
And our mission continues according to our Lord’s command:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
— Matthew 28:19–20
We invite our members, former members, neighbors, and friends to join us throughout this special year as we celebrate 100 years of God’s faithfulness and look forward to the future Christ has prepared for His Church.
