    Sunday at 3PM

    Musicians from Grace are traveling to Sweden & Norway this summer with four other church choirs, to share beautiful music and warm greetings from MN. Together, this group is called the Lantern Choir. Come hear the program the Lantern Choir will take to Sweden & Norway later this month, including a brand new piece called Love’s Lantern by Tom Trenney. You’ll hear Scandinavian-American choral favorites like “Children of the Heavenly Father,” some early American shape-note singing, and music from Aaron Copland. The concert is free!

    Summer Handbell Experience

    Thursday at 7PM

    Summer Handbell Experience: July 9 and Following
    Calling all current ringers, past ringers, and potential ringers! We're putting together a temporary bell choir to rehearse a few times this summer and play in church once. This is a great opportunity to learn to ring, get back into ringing, or keep your skills up over the summer. Rehearsals will be Thursdays July 9, 16, 23, and 30 from 7:00-8:15 p.m. in the Music Resource Room, and we will play in church on August 2. If you're available and interested, please let Chris Opsal know so she knows how many octaves of bells to plan for. Thanks!

    Events Calendar

    Grace is filled with activity most days of the week, not just on Sundays. Our building is an important community asset as it's home to a child care center and many community groups call this location their home too! Use the label (or icon) in the top right corner to change the view from MONTH, WEEK, or SCHEDULE. Schedule view works best for phones.
