Inclusive
At Grace Church, we say, "ALL are welcome, especially YOU!" No matter where you are on your faith journey, we welcome you. No matter your life story, we welcome you. No matter your family or marital status, we welcome you. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, we welcome you. No matter your age: young or not-so-young, we welcome you. We do this, not because we are nice (though we are), but because this is what we believe Jesus would have us do. In welcoming you, we welcome Jesus.
We know that entering a place, especially a church, for the first time can be intimidating, perhaps even scary. We hope that we greet you warmly and help you to find your way. Please know that, not only is it okay to ask questions, we encourage it! In addition to the friendly folks you will meet, our priest, Paula+ (or Rev. Paula+, if you prefer), is happy to talk with you about any of your questions or your spiritual journey. She is available after the church services or by appointment during the week.
We provide a bulletin with information about the service, so that you will find it easier to follow along and participate to the level you feel comfortable. Our primary resource is The Book of Common Prayer. Most of our music comes from The Hymnal 1982. Both books can be found in the book rack in the pew, and folks will gladly help you find your place.
