WELCOME TO GRACE
COVID-19 UPDATE 10/21
Services are at 8am in the Chapel and 10am in the Sanctuary.
*Communion is offered on Wednesdays in the Chapel at Noon.
*Anchor Club and Nursery have resumed for the 10:00 service. We ask parents to please enter through the outside entrance door by Anchor Club only. Masks are encouraged. A list of safety guidelines will be provided upon arrival.
Our Diocesan guidelines continue to outline that masks should be worn through the immediate future. We know that mass gatherings act as superspreading events, and do not want to contribute to any getting sick. We continue to encourage personal responsibility and high trust in individuals, and strongly encourage everyone to wear a masks along with continuing to maintain distance with each other. Pews are clearly marked with green tape to allow for social distancing. Sunday worship is open, with limited seating capacity.

Where Can I Serve? Talent and treasure go far here! Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the community and the world around us. It begins in our own community. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to preparing the church bulletins.
Grace Episcopal Day School A ministry of Grace Church, this beautiful school serves PK3-8th Grade just down the street! Grace Episcopal Day School is a Christian based, family-oriented educational community dedicated to maximizing each student’s potential. Click on the website link or call admissions at (904)269-3718.

Youth Ministry Each Sunday morning, children get to participate in their own lesson shortly after Church begins. Children grades K-5 are instructed to follow the teacher for a loving lesson that correlates to the current readings for that Sunday. Anchor Club is very popular! Bible lessons are taught in such a way that every child gets to participate and learn. Each of the class teachers is carefully screened and thoroughly trained in children’s instruction.
Sunday Evenings we have our 6-12th graders at our youth house from 5-7pm. We Love our Youth! Email todd@graceop.net for more information.
Music & Drama God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the choir. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God. We welcome any and all! If you wish to sing, just arrive at 9:30am that Sunday morning and our Choir Leader will have you singing faster than you can say fa-la-la.
Pastoral Care Team Grace Episcopal provides Pastoral Care for anyone who is sick, shut in, having a problem, having surgery, needing some kind of help, including meals, etc. This ministry also includes Communion for those at home or in nursing homes. There is a Facebook page for those interested in Pastoral Care. To join, click here for Grace Episcopal Connects. Pastoral Care Facebook
Hospitality Team Good in a kitchen? Not a requirement! Sign up to bring light refreshments for coffee hour after the service OR volunteer to set up for hospitality. This service is appreciated by all and is a great way to meet new members and experience fellowship. Sign up sheets are in the Narthex (Fancy word for Lobby).
Altar Guild is a fantastic way to get to know more about the Church, the different seasons and why we do what we do! It’s made up of teams so it’s an easy rotation and takes little time. This ministry might appeal to those wishing to help but not wanting a speaking role:). Contact Liz Reiswig via the Church Office.
Prayer Shawl Ministry These ladies lovingly knit beautiful prayer shawls and lap blankets for those who are sick or in need of comfort. They make shawls for Wounded Warriors that are blessed and given to Camp Weed’s retreat.

How Do I Meet People? Our church is not a place for spectators. It is a place for team members. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow at this church.
Baptism If you are new parents, Grace welcomes you and we love a Baptism! Give us a call to find out more. It’s a wonderful way to introduce your child to Christ and be part of a growing Church. Adults welcome for Baptism too.
Youth Ministry Life can get complicated once you cross that nebulous threshold into adulthood. There are complicated decisions. And a whole lot more decisions. The youth ministry of our church, led by Todd And Michelle Cambron, provides a welcoming atmosphere for 6-12th Graders on Sundays from 5-7pm. todd@graceop.net
Choir This is a great group of men and women who know the secret of receiving and giving joy through singing and music. So many ways to contribute and we value your time. Come when you can and no weeknight practices! Music director Susan Conroy will welcome you with open arms.
Men’s Grill and Chill The 1st Tuesday of the month at 6pm, the men gather at Benedict Hall. Just bring your favorite beverage and something to grill. A great way to relax during the week! Sides provided.
Flower Guild This is an opportunity to work with a team of people as creative as yourself! No professionals, just fun people who do our altar arrangements. An expression of faith at its finest.
Grace Ladies: We currently meet for lunch (2nd Friday) and dinner monthly. Please join our facebook page for new dates!
