LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR GARDENS

We believe that children are an important part of our church family and they are fully welcomed to participate at all church events and activities. Intergenerational fellowship, formation and worship are one of the best parts of our life together. For children specifically, Sunday School (using the Godly Play model) is offered at 9:15.

Children (and grandchildren) are always welcomed to participate in church services, and there are small activity bags they may use for quiet activities.

A nursery for children 4 and under is available in the parish hall building from 9:00 until 12:00.

OUR LIFE TOGETHER

Episcopal worship follows an ancient pattern that dates to the earliest days of the Christian church. The first half of the Eucharist is the Liturgy of the Word the second half is the Liturgy of the Table, also called Holy Communion. If you’ve spent time in Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Eastern Orthodox churches, much of our liturgy will seem familiar. If you’re unfamiliar with liturgical Christian worship, don’t worry. You’re welcome to participate as fully as is right for you, or to just relax into the liturgy and let the rest of the congregation carry you in worship.

Lenten Quiet Day

Brendan Murphy on March 9, 2022

On Saturday, March 19, from 9:00 – 3:00 we’re planning a Lent “Quiet Day” here at Grace. The idea of taking a quiet day in Lent is to help us set time aside for what the season might offer: an opportunity to reflect on our own mortality or shortcomings, a chance to refocus on our faith and how we live that out, a time to recommit to what we undertake each time we go through the Baptismal Covenant. For us here at Grace, we might also simply consider it an opportunity to embrace all that we have as we step away from any hustle and into the sanctuary space our campus offers.

The theme for our Quiet Day this year will be “Growing in grace” and we’ll use some of Jesus’ gardening parables to reflect on the shape our own faith takes. We’ll use videos of talks by Jewish New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine, a professor at Vanderbilt University Divinity School and do some study and exploring together in the morning. After lunch, there will be several different options for reflecting in a way that makes most sense to you – creative, active, quiet, not-so-quiet, etc. before we close with worship.

Sarah Smith Halloran, Rector

Please sign-up by emailing Sarah by NEXT Monday, March 14.

Cost for the day, including lunch, is $15.
