Caps off to our graduating seniors! Join us as we celebrate and honor the graduates in our community. We'll recognize their accomplishments and pray for them as they begin their next adventures.

Have a graduate you'd like us to include? Send their name to youth@gracehere.org.

We will convene this Sunday in the living room during coffee hour.

Spring is here, and my garden is reaching and growing. Foolishly, I try to help — weeding, planting, watering — and yet it follows its own course as if navigating by the stars. Sturdy green shoots and flowers pop up that were hidden a day ago. Petals fall. It’s a sacred mystery I cannot control; I submit to the rhythm and find peace.

Please come and share your thoughts or questions. 

— Nancy Peregrine

Join us for our teen-led monthly gathering—music, food, a short message, and plenty of games.
