What a joyful Sunday at Grace and St. John's! Thank you to everyone who participated making this a truly special service. We hope this was the first of many joint services with our partners at St. John's!

THANK YOU GRACE MEN'S GROUP

On Saturday, August 29th, several members of the Grace Church Men's Group volunteered their time for their semi-annual roadside clean up. It was hot and muggy in the tall grass along Fairground Road, but they got the job done. Thanks guys!
