Welcome to Grace!
Welcome to Grace!

Praising God. Serving our neighbors. Loving one another. Growing in Christ. That’s pretty much it.

Of course, Grace has classes and worship services, committees and parties and a building. More than these: Grace is a community of believers and seekers trying to be faithful…always learning, exploring, rejoicing at the ways in which God’s love is for us and works through us. We’re also a growing place that has room and a welcome for you.

You’ll find information here and on our Facebook page. We’d love to have you join us this week for worship, study, play, etc. Check out the calendar. Give us a call. Stop on in.

News and Updates
  • Grace gathers for worship…on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. You are cordially invited to join us.
    • Wednesday evening, January 25, at 7:30pm. Our mid-week gathering (see more info below) concludes with a quiet service of Evening Prayer…a great way to regain our perspective in the middle of the work week.
    • Sunday morning, January 29, at 8:00am and 10:30am. We share the good news of Christ’s presence among us in Scripture and song, creed and prayer and Holy Communion.
  • Sunday School…includes groups and classes for all ages at 9:15am. Adult learners can choose between Bible study, a parenting support/encouragement group, and a free-wheeling conversation we call “Coffee with Christ.” There’s a high school group (getting ready for next summer’s trip to New Orleans) and a study on the life of Jesus designed just for 7th and 8th graders. Children from pre-school to sixth grade enjoy grade-appropriate classes. There’s even a nursery class for the very youngest among us. We encourage you to learn and grow with us.
  • Wednesdays at Grace…are a great mid-week opportunity for food, fellowship, learning and worship.
    • Family Dinner at 6:00pm: Always a good, hearty meal shared around the table with friends. And always just $4 per person. The menu for January 25 includes a shepherd’s pie, applesauce, home-made biscuits, dessert and a beverage. Call the church office (419-862-3630) by noon Wednesday to make your reservation.
    • Learning Time at 6:30pm: 7th & 8th graders (and any other interested persons) are invited to a study on the life of Jesus. Or adults and teens might choose to try “Reading the Psalms with Luther.” There’s also a yoga group (no charge) that meets to stretch and pray. And the Children’s Choir rehearses, beginning at 6:45pm.
    • Evening Prayer at 7:30pm: It’s a brief, simple liturgy focused on God’s word, prayer and song…with plenty of space for silence and reflection. Our middle school kids help lead; we are blessed by their work, and by the opportunity to commend ourselves and our day into God’s steadfast care.
  • Our Sunday Evening Bible Study…is following the suggested reading of the narrative lectionary. Each week covers a different story (click here for a look at what’s coming up). You’re invited into some really excellent learning and conversation at 6:30pm on Sunday evening. The group is big enough that we meet in Fellowship Hall. Bring a Bible or use one of ours. No prior study experience is necessary, and there is no fee or cost to be part of the group. Join us!
