"As a lifelong Episcopalian, I believe profoundly that a bold commitment to active Christian stewardship is foundational to our faith. Since everything I enjoy in this life has been provided by a loving God, my only appropriate response is to gladly, generously, and joyfully proclaim my gratitude by offering a percentage of my annual income to support the work of God's church here at Grace Church."

Please contact John Kydd if you can help us uplift our hospitality.

This Sunday Grace welcomes The Rev. Canon Ivar Hillesland, Canon for Congregations in the Diocese of Olympia.

Ivar will preach at both services. After the 9:30 a.m. service, grab your beverage and a treat and join with him in conversation. All are welcome!

This is a beautiful tradition our Grace Community has celebrated for many years!

On Sunday in the narthex we will have a Giving Tree set up on the round table. There you will be able to sign up to purchase a Giving Card in the amount of $25 from any of the following: Safeway, Starbucks, Amazon, Ace Hardware, or Eagle Harbor Books.

These Gift Cards will be given to Seniors in our Community by Helpline House. Simply return the envelope with the Gift Card you purchased to Grace by Sunday, December 7.

A Simple, Lovely and Easy way to send a Blessing!

Gift Cards returned by Sunday, December 7 will be distributed by Helpline the following week.

Thank you for participating in this Annual Advent Giving which is so appreciated by our Island Seniors.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

The people at Faith Episcopal Church in Poulsbo were so grateful for all the underwear and sock donations you brought in to serve guests who come to the Fresh Start Monday shower project. Cindy and Kathleen made three trips to Faith Church with your donations! The fun part was when someone surprised Lindsay with an anonymous package that was delivered to the church office last week. She opened it. Was it office supplies??? No, it was UNDERWEAR.

The Power of Parables

November 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. Email Kim Cockroft for more information.
