Listening Sessions

On March 17, 2015, the Presbyterian Church USA (of which Grace is a part) ratified a change to its constitution. This change allows but does not mandate that PCUSA ministers may perform same sex weddings, and PCUSA congregations may hold same sex weddings. Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton shared information about this in an electronic letter to the congregation.

In response to this constitutional change, the Grace Session (governing body) invites you to be part of the conversation. The session will hold three listening sessions. These sessions are designed to be a place where you can come and share what you think about these changes and listen to others. These sessions are designed not as debates but as opportunities to listen and speak. The listening sessions are as follows:

  • Tuesday April 14, 6-7 pm, Grace Room 205
  • Wednesday April 15, 6-7 pm, Grace Parlor
  • Sunday April 19, 4-5 pm, Grace Alcove

Several members of the Session will be present at each session. You are also welcome to talk with them or Catherine individually.

Laundry Love: April 12

 

 

Laundry Love continues on April 12. On that day from 3-5:30 pm, we are at the College Town Laundry, 3223 E 17th Street North, to share some love with our community. We’ll pay for laundry for everyone who brings clothes during that time. It’s an exciting way for us to be in the community, to get to know new people, to offer a blessing, and to hopefully help make someone’s life a little bit easier. We started this in March and had an incredible time.

Want to know more? Contact catherine@mygpc.org or check out the Laundry Love website.

Join us Tuesday, April 14 at 5 pm for the Tutoring Celebration. This marks the end of another great year of tutoring at Grace. Throughout the school year, students from Hyde Elementary School have walked to Grace in the afternoons to get help with reading. On this day, their families join us as we celebrate the year. Each tutor will present his or her student with a book in honor of their hard work.

Following the celebration everyone is invited to stay for a hot dog supper. All of this takes place in the Grace Great Room.
