You’re invited to come forward to offer an ‘I Pledged’ card to offer your participation in God’s work here at Grace. How do you see today’s readings supporting or challenging us as we join God’s mission?

    Community Forum: October 18
    Understanding Gender
    While gender is something everyone is familiar with, gender can feel really unique to each person, or can fade in the background so much we barely notice it. Your gender might be an experience of fierce connection and belonging, or an experience of hurt and tender woundedness, or both, or something else entirely. However you understand your gender (cisgender, transgender, genderqueer, nonbinary, or otherwise), join Ray Hommeyer (they/them) in conversation about our gender experiences.

    Building Use Calendar

    Grace is filled with activity most days of the week, not just on Sundays. Our building is an important community asset. Our building is home to Sunshine Montessori School and many other community groups, including exercise groups, music ensembles, twelve-step programs, and theater/art collectives. 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.

    Connect to Information

    The Epistle
    For many years we published a physical newsletter that you can look back at to get to know us, our people, our passions, and our opportunities for engagement. Our website, weekly emails, and blog continue that tradition.

    Donors Area

    General Giving

    Individual giving provides us with the vast majority of our income. We maintain our worship space and grounds, pay our staff, purchase our supplies, and support charitable work. Learn about more ways to give on our Giving page.

    Highlight Projects

    Occasionally we highlight one of our programs. Please consider giving to these great causes.

    Grace will be applying for a dollar-for-dollar match grant. Susan+ is in for $500 from the Rector's Discretionary Fund. Can you join her with a gift of your own to maximize this match and support our neighbors? Give by sending a check to Grace - Memo: Washburn Mutual Aid.
