The Grace Blog

What do we know of the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit? How does the Spirit work in the history of the church and in our lives now? We’ll explore these questions and more. Bring your questions and join us for this study.  Join Dr. Martin Burch on Tuesdays: July 14, 21, 28 and Tuesday, August 4 at 2 pm.

All classes are held on Zoom.  Find the login information in the Thursday and Saturday emails ...

In Christ,
Catherine

Grace is assigned very specific items this year.  Please read the list and bring your donations by the church.  If you prefer to donate money, the refugee team will shop.  Please bring all donations to Grace by Monday July 20.

Dear Grace Community,

We WILL NOT gather for in-person worship now. I write to explain and share our plans moving forward.

We will now base our decision about worship on the rolling 14-day average percent of positive Covid-19 tests. When this number is at 5% or above, on Monday/Tuesday, we will NOT meet the following Sunday. You can find this data here: As of Tuesday, June 30, the number is at 5.3%.
