As a church, Grace has changed significantly since the last church picture directory was completed five years ago. It is time for an update, and you are an integral part of the process!

We want 100% participation. Pictures are taken at the church September 25-28. Before pictures are taken, each family unit needs to sign up for a scheduled picture time.

Join us in worship on August 18 for the Blessing of the Backpacks.  This is a way for our church to offer prayer and blessing for students, teachers, school staff, and families at the start of the school year.  We offer a blessing during both worship services.

On this Sunday a portion of our congregation is on a church retreat.  Therefore, we have only One Worship Service at 10 am in the sanctuary.  Caitlin Hendrix is our preacher this day.  Caitlin is a PCUSA pastor who serves as a chaplain.  She and her family participate in Messy Church.

Worship at 9 am is in the Great Room and is led musically by our band.  The style is less formal than the 11 am service.  The 11 am service is in the Sanctuary and is led musically by our choirs.  The style is more traditional.

There is Sunday School for people of all ages on August 18.  There is a class for adults on August 11.  Adults are invited to the Steamer class on August 4 and 25.  Sunday School is at 10 am.

Adults

  • August 11:   All adults are invited to a class with the Reverend Doctor Jo Ella Holman. Jo Ella is the PCUSA mission coordinator for Cuba and the Caribbean. She preaches in both worship services this day.  Sunday School is a chance to hear more about what God is doing through the Presbyterian Church in Cuba.

Join us for one worship service on Sunday, July 28 at 10 am in the Grace Great Room.  Worship is led by youth and adults who traveled to Denver, CO, for a mission trip earlier in the month.
