If you are new to Grace, you are invited to the Newcomers dinner at 6:00 p.m. in Walker Hall. Rev. Eric Mason and other parish leaders will be there to answer questions and welcome you to our community. If you missed any of the former Newcomer gatherings and would like to attend, please come.

• You do not need to bring anything. 
• Childcare will be provided, if needed — please let Liz know.
• RSVPs are very helpful
• We hope you can make this meal!

Please RSVP to Liz Shaw. 

The 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 meet in the Living Room from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Sundays through April 19.

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

Tuesdays, March 17 and 24

As people of faith, our instructions are simple but challenging: Love God, love our neighbor. In a complicated time, how do we respond as citizens of the Kingdom of God? Join us as we delve into immigration in the U.S. from a variety of perspectives.

Need some fresh air and good fellowship? Grace’s Gifts of Dirt Garden could use your strong back, smile, and wheelbarrow to move compost to the ninety-foot vegetable rows. We’ll gather from 1:00 to 4:00 on Sunday, March 22, to shovel, move, and spread this delicious black nutrition that the vegetables we raise for Helpline House thrive on. 

Directions to the garden are at the bottom of the Gifts of Dirt web page. Questions? Contact Pegge Ashcroft at ashcroftpegge@gmail.com or 206-348-1934.

Sunday, March 15, after the 9:30 a.m. service

Two Sundays ago, during coffee hour, Grace Kids collected a carload of donations for our friends at Fishline! The generosity was inspiring — and the work continues. This Sunday, March 15, we will head out into the community as a group to collect donations door-to-door. This is a wonderful, kid-friendly way to serve and make a tangible difference for local families.

Saturday, April  4, from 10 am - noon
