Welcome to Grace Episcopal Church!

Holy Eucharist Sundays at 10 am
In light of the increased risk of COVID19 even among the vaccinated, we are once again requiring face masks covering both mouth and nose at in-person events and meetings, including worship. We are taking these measures now in the hope of avoiding more drastic measures later. Thank you for your cooperation.
Our church follows the seasons of the year (as well as the Lectionary which sets out the readings for each Sunday. The Sundays after Pentecost make up the longest season of the year. Those Sundays are referred to as "ordinary time." But the messages are anything but ordinary. Some of the best pieces of scripture are found in this season!
As you can see, the seasonal color is green, which gives the priest and the altar guild a chance to bring out our lovely Celtic vestments.
Feel the Love
While many churches "pass the peace" during their service, few can match the love at Grace. Come see how you would fit in!
Worship in the Episcopal Church rests on scripture and the traditions of the elegant language of the Book of Common Prayer. While the worship might seem more formal than spontaneous, we reliably read scripture every time we worship together, and we follow the liturgy that has stood the test of time. Our worship is in letting the liturgy carry us along into a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with God.
Bring offerings of food the 1st Sunday of each month! Grace Episcopal Church works to distribute these offerings locally. Call the church at (815) 625-0442 with any questions!
