How has Grace’s past shaped who we are today? The Town Hall Meeting on Sunday, March 17, 2024, went very well. There were seventy-four people in attendance.

Each year on Easter Sunday, the worship spaces of our church feature the abundant beauty of Easter flowers, given for God’s glory and honoring our loved ones. Following worship, the flowers are delivered to members who cannot regularly join us or who have experienced a loss. You can participate by purchasing an Easter flower for $25.00. Call the church office, mail your “Easter Flowers” check, and let us know in whose memory or honor the flowers are given before Mach 26, 2024. The names are listed in the Easter bulletin.
