Foundations ClassBeginning February 8, after church, I will once again be offering the Foundations Class. It is designed for those who want a deeper understanding of the Episcopal Church and my particular take on Christianity. If you are new to Grace and curious about the Episcopal tradition, are a teenager or adult who wants to be confirmed, or if you’ve been around Grace a while and want a refresher, this is for you. It’s a new member's class, a confirmation class, and a spiritual repast combined. We will meet in the Living Room after worship on Sundays, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., from February 8 – April 19 (except Feb. 15 and 22, when we will start at 1 p.m.). For those who wish, we will travel together to St. Mark’s Cathedral on Saturday, April 25, to be confirmed by the Bishop. To learn more read my newsletter, “Grounding Ourselves in Troubling Times”. Rev. Eric, eric@gracehere.org |

Storytelling NightTuesday, February 3, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.With storyteller Joanne Epply-SchmidtIn a prison, parish, politician’s office, or pastoral care encounter, a story well told can touch, motivate, educate, and heal. The ancient art of storytelling — be it folktale, myth, or sacred story — remains a vibrant means of connecting us, one to another, even in the most unlikely of circumstances. Joanne will tell some tales about how it's done, why it works, and the good that comes after “Once upon a Time…” All are welcome, no cost |

Looking for Grace Night OwlsTo support keeping Grace safe and secure, we have a Night Owl team. Each team member volunteers for a week at a time. We walk the exterior of the building, verify all the doors are locked and latched, and that all windows and the gate are closed and latched. The team members arrive after 9:00 p.m. or a bit later, after all the folks involved in a rental or other Grace activities have left. This takes about 15-20 minutes. After a short orientation, you'll be ready to go. If you want to jump right in, you can read about the duties of the Night Owls and sign up online. If you have questions about this ministry, please contact the Place for Grace leader, Dan Rohan 206.660.1228 or drohan@gmail.com, or Building & Property Manager, Eric Matthews, 206.718.2254 or eric@gracehere.org. |
