Coronavirus and GraceYour session met and seriously considered the issue at hand and realized that this is not about us.
While we may want to continue living a normal church life, these are not normal times. By creating spaces where people are put at risk to either spread or be infected, no matter how slight we might believe that risk to be, we do not want to inadvertently add to the COVID-19 crisis. The decisions we have made have not been easy ones, and they were not arrived at lightly. But we believe they are in the best interest of the long-term health and safety of those we serve. Accordingly, we have decided to suspend our communal worship and activities at least through April 26. Full Statement from Session how to serve during this timeIn a time of such uncertainty, it becomes evident that we are actually all in this together. Go HERE to find out ways to make the most of this time at home.

Fellowship SurveyWe have a variety of gifts, talents, and interests here at Grace. We encourage everyone to fill out this brief fellowship survey to allow others to know about your interests. This will help out the fellowship team by allowing us to plan events that match the interests of Grace. It will also allow Grace members to connect with each other through their interests.
