| ...Become a Member | Please contact the office or clergy to learn about becoming a member. A "Letter of Transfer" is the form used for current Episcopalians. If you are not already an Episcopalian, the clergy will discuss how to become a member. You may request immediately to be place on the membership rolls and mailing list. If you are interested in pledging (providing financial support) to the Church, request a pledge card from the office. Newcomers are invited to attend any and all activities as they wish. |
| ...Follow Along With the Service | The services in our church follow the services documented in our red prayer book (Book of Common Prayer). Copies of this book are available in every pew. Generally each service has a pre-printed Service Bulletin, available at the Usher's Station, that outlines the order of the service and references pages in the red prayer book. If a hymn is referenced (by a number) it will be in either the Blue HYMNAL or the red and black LEVAS (Lift Every Voice and Sing). Both of these books are available in every pew. |
| ...Get Baptized | Anyone may be baptized at Grace Church. Please contact the parish office. Baptisms are held regularly at Grace Church. We frequently hold them as often as once a month. We ask that you schedule a time with the clergy, meet with them the day before for instruction and provide us with an information form. |
| ...Get Married | Please contact the office and the clergy. Fees are involved. No wedding date is confirmed until the clergy are informed and the fees paid. Couples must arrange for premarital counseling, (4 sessions) with a clergy person. Information forms and additional information on weddings at Grace Church will be provided upon request. |
|
...Get Confirmed | We hold Confirmation, Reception and Reaffirmation once a year (usually the fall) when the Bishop visits. For teens, the Confirmation Class meets monthly during the school year. For adults, an "Inquirer's" Class is held once a week (on Sundays) for 8 weeks prior to the Bishop's visit.
Please contact the office or speak to the clergy for more information. |
|
...Hold a Funeral or Memorial Service | Anyone may be buried from Grace Church. Please contact the office and clergy immediately. Arrangements may be made to hold the service at the Church or in a Funeral Home. The clergy will consult with the family to design an appropriate service. We also inter ashes in our Memorial Garden at the Church. Please contact the office if you are interested in this option. |
