Email List  Click here to join our email list Grace Church currently sends out two different types of emails. When you sign up for our list, you can choose to receive emails in one or both of these interest categories. A Parish Wide News and Events email might contain information about a special music or worship service, a parish wide event such as the annual Picnic, a death/funeral announcement, or a weather related cancellation. Parish Life Trips and Activities emails are about Friday Dinners, Hikes, and trips planned by the Parish Life Committee. Additional categories of interest may be added in the future. You can change your email address, your areas of interest, or unsubscribe to the email list at any time by clicking the "Update Profile" or "SafeUnsubscribe" links found at the bottom of every email you receive from Grace Church.

Cookbooks for Sale Copies of our cookbook, A Taste of Grace, are available for sale for $17! And since the church has already paid for the production of the book, every cent from now on goes toward our current and future Habitat for Humanity outreach projects.

Ushers Needed to serve during the 10:45 AM worship service. Both men and women are welcome. Usher duties include greeting and seating parishioners, collecting the offering, and assisting parishioners during communion. Ushers are divided into rotating teams, with each team usually serving about once every six weeks. If you are interested in this ministry, please contact the parish office. Also contact the office if you’d like to be an oblation bearer.
