The Church That Sings & Serves
What's Happening At Grace
Worship Service is at 10:30 am

On Sunday, November 17, we’ll have a potluck dinner following worship and a brief congregational meeting, a celebration of 102 years of “grace upon grace” and a vote about an investment in utilizing God’s gift of the sun toward virtually eliminating our electric bills for the church bill for the next 25-30 years.  All are invited to join us.


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.

Jesus, Still Lead On
Jesus still lead on
Till our rest be won;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow calm and fearless;
Guide us by your hand
To our fatherland.

When we seek relief
From a long felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
Evangelical Lutheran Worship 624 vss 1 & 3

Prayer for the week:

Saving God, in life and death we abide in you. Teach us to number our days and to live with resurrection hope. Remind us that our reward is not in the stuff of this world but in you.  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.”
