Whether it’s online, in person, or some combination, it’s back to school time! This Sunday we bless backpacks in our 10 am morning service and at our 7 pm evening prayer service. If you attend the evening service, bring your backpack with you, and have yours with you for worship in your home on Sunday morning. Our congregation looks forward to celebrating students, teachers, and school staff!
We miss you, and we know you miss seeing each other for worship. You may tune into Facebook live for worship at 10 am on Sunday, August 16, and Sunday, August 23, and then come to the Grace Parking lot for an evening prayer service. The evening service lasts about 30 minutes and includes piano music, scripture, and prayer.
If you come, please bring your own chair and mask! We invite you to set up your chairs in a socially distanced fashion.
Dear Grace Community,
The Grace Stewardship Team thanks you for continuing to support Grace Church during this challenging time. Your gifts mean we continue to minister to our community.
Periodically someone from Grace will share the impact Grace has in their life; and through them, the world. We thank Makena Frazier for sharing with us this week. See her video >
