Prairie Fire Marathon, Breakfast Potluck, and Bluegrass Worship: October 13

Prairie Fire Marathon, Breakfast Potluck, and Bluegrass Worship: October 13

Sunday, October 13, is the Prairie Fire Marathon and Half Marathon.  For the seventh year, runners race past Grace starting at around 8 am.  We sit on the lawn to cheer for them as they zoom down Douglas.

Cheering, waving, and clapping for the runners is joyful, particularly when you see in the faces the difference the encouragement makes.  Bring a chair or plan to stand.  Our presence on the lawn is an important witness to the community.

At 10 am you’re ...

Blessing of the Animals: October 6 at 1 pm

Join us Sunday, October 6, at 1 pm, on the east lawn for a Blessing of the Animals.  All pets are welcome and must be on a leash or held in arms.  (There was a snake last year, and snakes don’t do well on leashes.)

Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton offers a blessing to each animal and owner as well as a time of thanksgiving for our animals.  This brief time of worship is a wonderful way to celebrate God’s creation.

September Yellow Bag Sundays

September Yellow Bag Sundays

Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag,

put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.  For many years we sent food to Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church.  Mt. Vernon closed in July and their building was purchased by a Four Square Gospel Church that hopes to keep the food pantry going.  In September our offering goes to this ministry.  All non-perishable groceries are welcome.  Consider ...
