Hymn:
Advent Message
Waiting now,
great advent’s call.
Searching life amid the small.
Come, Lord Jesus, all in all.
Judging too, our advent theme.
Naming all that is unclean.
King of angels,
prophet’s dream.
Choosing still our advent right.
Chasing darkness into light.
Sun of nations, shining bright.
Working out this advent rule.
Praying now our
season’s school.
O Great Teacher,
welcome Yule.
Living now, our advent rests.
Passing through all
wintry tests.
Lord of lords, at Mary’s breast.
J.M.A. Wright+ 2005
Tune: Journey, J.M.A. Wright+

A Prayer for
Saving Grace
Holy and Gracious God,
You are our strong tower
and sure foundation.
Continue, we pray,
to support us as we
renew this sanctuary.
Here, we have received
your healing mercies
and enlivening word.
Here, we have known
your loving embrace
and presence in the
breaking of bread.
Grant us the assurance
of your saving grace
as we live out our
earthly pilgrimage
from this holy place.
This we pray in the name
of the chief cornerstone
of our faith, even
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

| The Blue Christmas Service |
|
A Service of Remembrance and Hope
Anyone who is coping with grief, a broken relationship, financial difficulties, or any kind of loss or loneliness can find the holidays especially difficult. The annual Blue Christmas Service is a way to acknowledge sadness and concern amid a world that is focused on celebration. Through prayers, readings and music, the Blue Christmas Service is a reminder of God's loving and healing presence for all who mourn and struggle. |
| The Grace Handbell Choir and the young choristers of the St. Nicholas Choir will provide music. Refreshments will be offered afterward in the parish hall. |
|
2009 Stewardship Campaign
| The time to pledge is now |
Making a commitment to support Grace Church is one of the "three P's" of church membership: presence, participation, and pledging. Every pledge is important. Thanks to the many members who have already made a commitment for 2009.
You can make a pledge online right from this website... To get started, CLICK HERE.
Read what parishioners are saying about pledging to Grace... |
The words around the
alms basin sum up
the idea of stewardship:
"Of thine own have we
given thee, O Lord."
