Our liturgy is an integral part of what makes Grace a special place.
It is always carefully focused on the worship of God, and our church
is widely appreciated for the quality of its liturgical practices.
There
is a rich offering of special services throughout the year, especially
during Holy Week. A Seder Meal is offered on Tuesday during Holy Week.
Maundy Thursday is celebrated with the Liturgy of the Last Supper (with foot-washing).
Good Friday and Holy Saturday services and the Easter Vigil help emphasize
our commitment to Easter as the most important time of the Christian
year. Two Christmas Eve services are also special events in our calendar.
We celebrate and cherish the other seasons of the church year as well.
One of the highlights of the year is our annual "Blessing of the Animals."
The diversity of our pets says a great deal about us as a parish. All
are welcome in worship, from cats and dogs to snakes and llamas. The
service becomes a noisy celebration of all of God's creation.
SUNDAYS
7:45 a.m. - Traditional Worship Service without
music. The congregation appreciates a quieter, contemplative mode
of worship.
9:00 a.m. - Family Worship. Music comes from both
the renewal movement and the hymnal. There is a "children's sermon"
and many families choose to worship together at this service. People
of many different ages enjoy this more casual style of worship. The
children's choir participates in this service. Prayers for healing
are offered at this service. A prayer station is present with Healing Ministers.

Nursery available for the youngest members.
