Tom Croker, representing Bethany Lutheran, spoke about their affordable housing efforts. The questions from those in attendance were robust and helpful in providing additional insight and clarity.

Foundations Class ContinuesThe Foundations Class 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 continue to meet in the Living Room on the following Sundays: March 8 – April 19 from 11:30 a.m. – 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. — Rev. Eric, reveric@gracehere.org |
