What’s a silent disco? It’s basically a dance party where everyone looks like they’ve lost their minds… but really, they’re just jamming to music through headphones. Bonus: you can switch channels to different DJs, so you and your friends might be dancing to totally different beats—awkward moves encouraged, of course!

We'll then gather on the first Sunday of each month.

Email Melissa Meyers to learn more.

Various shifts, between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Serve and share dinner with neighbors, or contribute a dessert. Families and teens are especially encouraged to participate. Email Melissa Meyers to learn more, or sign up below.

The Power of Parables

October 14, 21, 28; November 4, 11, 18, 
7 p.m. at Grace Church

Led by Eric Mason & Kim Cockroft
Open to All

Learn to live in God’s Kingdom, one parable at a time. Jesus’ stories shocked, stirred, and transformed his original listeners into new ways of seeing and being. Over the years, we’ve domesticated those parables until they are rote and predictable.

Join us as we hear Jesus’ stories again with new ears and open hearts.

Our text: The Kingdom of God is Like ... by Thomas Keating is available in the narthex. Suggested donation is $13.

Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of September.

The office lost-and-found drawer has overflowed, so items have been moved to the narthex. Please check the table and coat racks for your missing items. Bonus: Snag a beautiful piece of unclaimed spiral art, which is now up for grabs!

Have you lost a significant and valuable piece of jewelry? An item was found and is being held in the office for safekeeping. Please email office@gracehere.org with a description. 

Mark your calendars and save the date. Come get to know some of the guys at Grace during the annual fall retreat at John Kydd’s Cabin on Hood Canal. Details to follow.
