Worship:
Worship is at the heart of our experience of Grace Church. We relish
our historic worship space, beautiful music in the Anglican tradition, and sermons that engage us and give us food for thought in the week ahead. Worship requires all of us to “show up”. The liturgy from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer is participatory. More than 50 individuals serve in various worship ministry roles on an average Sunday.
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name worship the
Lord in the beauty of holiness."
Psalm 29:2
Acolytes:
Young people (grade 5 and up) and adults take part in the Sunday
worship services. New teams for the year are scheduled in the fall.

Healing Prayer:
We seek to raise awareness of God’s healing power at work in all of creation and to serve as channels of that power as we pray for wholeness of bodies, minds, emotions, spirits, and our social context. Every Sunday at the 10:00 service we are available in the chapel to offer prayers for those who request them. We also meet monthly to deepen our own prayer lives and to learn more about healing.
