Pentecost is the day the Holy Spirit was given to the apostles, empowering them to preach the gospel and marking the beginning of the church's mission to the world. Services are 8:00 & 10:30AM

On Sunday at Grace, we’ll celebrate this principal feast day by wearing the color red to symbolize the fire of the Holy Spirit.  We’ll have an extended procession to begin the 10:30 service with music from our bagpiper Don Neil.  And we’ll take a group picture after each service to remind ourselves that, though we are all different, we are united by the same Spirit.  And of course, we'll enjoy celebratory snacks and coffee between the services. Hope to celebrate with you on Sunday at Grace!

Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection. Faith in Jesus' resurrection on the Sunday - or third day - following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. Easter sets the experience of springtime next to the ancient stories of deliverance and the proclamation of the risen Christ.

After the Easter Brunch & Egg Hunt, all children are invited to help decorate the Easter Cross with flowers at the beginning of the 10:30 service. The children will enter at the beginning of the processional and decorate the cross while the choir enters the church on Easter Sunday. All flowers will be provided.

Come and join us for brunch prepared by our parishioners. If you have children, there will be an Easter egg hunt where they can take part.

If you attend, please bring a breakfast/brunch dish, fruit, baked goods, etc. to the parish hall by 9:00 AM on Sunday, April 20 for our Easter brunch.

The language of the Good Friday liturgy on walks through the passion of our Lord. Jesus is crucified and we acknowledge our own role in God’s unfolding narrative. There is no celebration of Eucharist and the ministers wear black. Jesus' death is seen by Christians as salvation and as a reminder of how prophets are often killed when they stand for justice and peace.
