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.
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.
It is your generosity that facilitates the mission and ministry of Grace Episcopal Church. Thank you for your ongoing support.
