We Meet the 2nd Sunday of the month at 4 p.m. for a shared potluck meal. We invite you to visit and be our guest for dinner! There’s no need to bring anything!
Some months, we’ll have a Bible study or other discussion. Others, we’ll have more informal conversations.
Communion and worship begin at 5 p.m. Grace practices an open table, and we use grape juice to ensure that the table is available and accessible to all.
Our worship time is participatory, lively, and informal. We sing, share, read Scripture, and pray together. Our time together usually ends around 6:15 p.m.

Sermon Title: “The Rest Is Yet To Come“
This Sunday, we’ll spend some time with one of the more mysterious moments in scripture: Elijah listening for God in the wind, the earthquake, and the fire, only to encounter God in what the text calls “a sound of sheer silence.” Since we’ll be singing a cappella together, we’ll think about something musicians already know well: silence is not the absence of music. A rest gives a song shape. It creates space to breathe, to listen, and to anticipate what comes next.
Our theme for Sunday is “The Rest Is Yet to Come.” That word rest will do a little double duty for us. There is the rest that asks us to stop and be still, and there is the rest that means everything still ahead, the part of the story we haven’t heard yet. As we worship together one last time before my own little pause until December, we’ll consider what it means to trust the quieter measures of our lives, to listen closely for God, and to remember that a pause does not mean the song is over
