Study
Bible Study
The Bible Study Group meets 10 a.m. on Wednesdays, both remotely (on Zoom) and in person, taking short recesses during holidays and the summer. We usually study the upcoming Sunday’s scriptures using the online Episcopal Lectionary Calendar. We expand upon this with our own insights and life experiences. This preparation enriches the fertility of our hearts and minds for the seeds that will be sown from the pulpit on Sunday.
Education for Ministry (EfM)
EfM invites the people of God to discern their individual ministry and how to act in faith through small group discussion. The EfM Seminar meets weekly onsite in the Grace Conference Room between September and June. EfM is an adult education curriculum with a classic four-year course of study and a single year Wide Angle Lens. New students begin in the fall.
Lectionary
Our services follow a daily and weekly pattern of readings, which we call the lectionary. This enables us to read vast portions of the Bible over time. You may find the lectionary here: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/lectionary/

Episcopal 101
Participating in Grace is easy; spend time with us on Sundays and find some of our ministries you enjoy. Every year or two, our Rector teaches a conversational course for those interested in officially becoming Episcopalian. Depending on their faith backgrounds, these people are received or confirmed by Bishop Clark. Those to attend are asked to choose and read a book from a list. If you are interested in becoming Episcopalian, reach out to Mother Paula Harris.
Poetry Group
A poetry meeting from Grace Church has been organized and meets Mondays at 2:00 pm. This is not specifically a Grace ministry, but a number of Grace members and friends are part of it. Newcomers are always welcome. This group meets at various outdoor locations during summer and via Zoom during winter.
