What's Happening At Grace

Each week we share with you a hymn and a prayer reflective of the scriptures from our Sunday morning worship.  Our service is at 10:30.   We look forward to seeing and/or hearing from you soon.

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive,
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of Christ shall end division:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.

Let us build a house where all are named, their songs and visions heard and loved and treasured, taught and claimed as words within the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace,
let this house proclaim from floor to rafter:
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
From Evangelical Lutheran Worship 641, vss. 1 & 5.  Text and music by Marty Haugen 

Almighty and most merciful God, your bountiful goodness fills all creation.  Keep us safe from all that may hurt us, that, whole and well in body and spirit, we may with grateful hearts accomiplish all that you would have us do, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen

Vision Statement
Our vision is to be faithful servants, living by God's Word and supporting others to do so while extending to all the teachings of Jesus Christ by reaching out to neighbors and strangers, seeking justice while constantly striving for and supporting diversity in our congregation.


American and Swedish church leaders sign joint climate justice pledge Church leaders and ecumenical organizations join tens of thousands in marching through the streets of New York City in a Climate Strike on 20 September, demanding climate justice now. Photo: Simon Chambers/ACT 26 September 2019 The Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Church of Sweden have signed a joint pledge related to climate justice. The message urges action on the unprecedented negative effects of climate change. “As we observe the Season of Creation, we renew the call for our churches to work together for the sake of Earth and to build collaborations wherever possible, both with other communities of faith and with diverse agents in our civil society,” the text reads. “Now is the time for science, politics, business, culture and religion - everything that is an expression of human dignity - to address together this critical issue for our time.” The church leaders acknowledged they have been slow to recognize the urgency of this crisis. “We have turned away from our own roles in environmental degradation, clinging as we could to lifestyles of unsustainable waste and overuse even as others suffer from lack of necessities,” continues the message. “Moreover, majority cultures have ignored the insights of indigenous siblings among us who are too often deeply affected by climate change, even as they bear spiritual practices and wisdom that can help the people of God to walk a more sustainable - and more loving - course.” The church leaders pledged to advocate for national and international policies and regulations that enable transitions to carbon neutral, resilient societies. “We will pursue education and advocacy efforts that attend to the most vulnerable, whose needs must be put ahead of the more privileged,” concludes the message. “We will raise awareness in our churches by promoting the use of education, worship and action resources available locally, regionally, nationally and globally.”
