WORSHIP
“It is right to give God thanks and praise.”
We offer time-honored Episcopal worship, but you'll find us incorporating a variety of traditions. In fact, in back-to-back visits you may encounter a service of contemplative silence, or an energetic service of gospel music, or a service of traditional classical fare. We'd love to give you the opportunity to use your musical gifts!
Learn more on our Members page about last-minute schedule changes due to weather or health emergencies. Online worship is available on our YouTube channel. New worship service recordings are usually available Sunday afternoons.
Please see our Grow page for educational opportunities.

Children
In Our Worship Space
The Pray Ground
One of our deepest values here at Grace is our commitment to children and youth meeting God in worship. The intention of the Pray ground is to facilitate prayerful responses to worship. It is a space for people ages 0 - 100 to be part of worship together with options for sitting, space to wiggle when needed and age appropriate resources to keep hands busy. We are blessed to have kids in worship and space for all to show up as their authentic selves.
For everyone who takes part in using the Pray Ground, be extra gentle with each other, help each other be respectful of other people’s space and safety. Help each other reflect prayerful voices and movements. Parents/Guardians, if your kiddos are in the Pray Ground on their own, we ask you to check in with them outside of worship about how they can make our space safe and welcoming for everyone. Ask them how they can bring their gifts and love to church too.
In Our Child Care Room
Childcare Room available Sundays, beginning at 9:15am
At Grace we offer a loving safe environment for our youngest members, birth - age 5. The childcare room is on the 2nd floor which is accessed by the west stairwell from the Commons. Our Childcare Room is staffed by two caregivers beginning at 9:15 am through the passing of the Peace during worship. When possible the caregivers will bring our little ones into worship so they can also be part of the Communion experience and will unite with parents/caregivers if possible. If you would like your little ones to stay in the care of our caregivers please communicate your needs with them and if you would like your little ones to stay in the childcare room beyond the end of worship so you can attend the Forum in the worship space 11:30am - 12:15pm following Coffee Hour.

Healing Services
Sunday Morning Healing Prayer: 10AM, each Sunday
During communion at Sunday worship (in the side chapel), the healing team offers healing prayers with laying on of hands and anointing with oil, if desired. The healing team can pray for a specific concern or give a general prayer for health and well-being. The healing prayer team is also available in this area immediately following the service for more in depth discussion of concerns and for longer prayer times. We are also available by appointment.
Monthly Healing Prayer Service: Second Tuesdays, 7-8PM
Every Christian has wrestled with how to pray for themselves or others suffering from illness. We long to witness healing such as Christ and his disciples performed. The healing prayer ministry can help us as we navigate difficult times of our lives and search for God’s peace and love. Come pray for God’s healing love at this ecumenical worship service. This intimate service includes scripture readings, communion, hymns and time for individual healing prayers. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
Healing prayer is simply bringing our needs to God through prayer and expectantly watching for the Holy to respond. We believe in seeking healing through all methods provided by God including traditional medicine, complementary medicine, therapy, pastoral counseling, AA groups, etc. We also believe that through prayer God performs amazing healing of body, mind and spirit. We pray for all manner of needs: healing of pain (e.g. arthritis, injury), healing of relationships, healing of destructive behaviors, healing of minor or serious medical conditions, healing of past memories or abusive relationships, general blessings for work and family, guidance on life changes, etc. We have witnessed many healings of body, mind and spirit through the grace and healing power of God.
