In Service to Our Country

Sean Williams 

If you have a prayer request, please contact the church office or place the name of the person on the prayer list located on the bulletin board in the breezeway. The name will stay on the list for 4 weeks. They may be re-added at the end of the 4 week period. 

Our prayer list is an important part of our church community, and we are grateful for the opportunity to hold one another in prayer. From time to time, it is helpful to update the list and begin anew. We would like to begin publishing the new list December 15, 2026.

If you would like a name included on our new prayer list, please sign up on the bulletin board in the breezeway, call the church office, or submit a prayer request through the newsletter.

Thank you for helping us keep our prayer list current as we continue to hold one another in prayer and care. .

During Vestry meetings there have been conversations about this amazing property with its open spaces. Recently, the National Episcopal Church announced Creation Care grant opportunities for Episcopal Churches to connect to nature. The short story is that we have applied for a grant. Our grant application says that we would like to develop a closer relationship with the natural world through presentations, caring for our property, and having outdoor activities here at Grace. But first we need a plan and that is what we are asking for in our application. More to come. Pray for our success.                                       

I am happy to report, the electrical work was completed last week. If you are here at night, you will notice that there is a new light shining on the small parking lot. Now we have energy efficient lights on the outside of the buildings that are no longer constantly on. And the light in the church sacristy that was not working has been fixed, which fixed several other issues with the lights in the pipe room and the light at the top of the back of the church. Thank you for your contributions to our Safety Fund.
