The Grace Blog

The Grace Session met on June 21, 2021, in the church alcove/on Zoom.

• The meeting was opened and closed with prayer.
• Membership changes were made. We removed members who were contacted about their membership status and did not respond.  These are all people who have not lived in Wichita for at least 2.5 years.
• The Covid safety protocols were discussed. It was decided to:
  • Return to using the offering plate at 11 am worship and offering bags at 9 am worship.
  • Bring back the coffee ...

What’s essential for a church?  What’s essential for our church?  Beyond Jesus Christ being essential, we all answer this question a little differently.  As we settle into a new way of life as a church, post-pandemic, it’s a good time to reflect on our identity and values as a church.

Join members of the session for questions and conversations on the last three Sundays of August.  We’ll meet in the Great Room at 10 am.  Questions?  Contact Catherine Neelly Burton.

On Sundays, August 1 and 8, we have one worship service at Grace at 10 am. On Sunday, August 1, our Mission Trip Team leads worship in the Great Room. On August 8, some of us worship in the sanctuary while others of us worship at Micro Churches around the city.

Grace hosts the Presbytery of Southern Kansas on Saturday, August 14. We need volunteers to help with greeting, ushering, making sure the snack table stays full, and general hospitality.  Volunteer opportunities begin at 8:30 am and go until 12:30 pm. You may take an hour shift or more. Please contact Catherine Neelly Burton catherine@mygpc.org or 316-684-5215 to volunteer.
