CE Kicks Off September 8

Join us Sunday, September 8 as we kick off the new program year at Grace! Christian Education classes for children, youth, and adults will meet from 9:30 – 10:30 AM most Sundays until May 4.

exceptions this fall are September 15, October 13, and October 27

Children’s Chapel

Younger children, ages 3 (by September 1) through 2nd grade, are invited to participate in Children’s Chapel during the first half of the 10:45 AM service each Sunday. Children’s Chapel is an opportunity for little ones to learn about worship and helps them make the transition to “big” Church. Using music and Montessori-style lessons, children learn about our liturgical cycle, explore the elements of worship, and learn basic Bible stories. Children begin the service in the Nave with their families, and are blessed and released to Children’s Chapel, and rejoin their families in the main service at the Peace.

Children’s Chapel resumes September 8 and will typically follow the same schedule as Children’s CE classes.

Parish Office

The parish office will be closed on Monday, September 9.

Wednesday Eucharist

There will be no noon worship service on Wednesday, September 11.

Women’s Book Study

Please note that the final Women’s Book Study will meet in the parish hall at Grace Church. Join us on Wednesday, September 11 at 6:00 PM.
