Events

Community Groups are the primary places of pastoral care and community building at Grace. The groups include worship, Bible study, fellowship, and prayer. Groups are meeting in several different neighborhoods in Seattle throughout the week. Click here for times, locations, leaders, and directions.

Sunday Prayer between services (10:30-10:55 am) in one of the east side rooms upstairs (down the hall from the restrooms) to pray for the church, the city, and that God would guide and direct us in our lives. If you are new to prayer, love to pray, or just want prayer, please join us. Email Sarah McCrum.

Bring socks to church! Homeless people are on their feet all day and rarely have more than one pair of socks-- which are usually wet. We'll be collecting new white adult men's socks at Grace until Sunday, 10 October in support of Operation Nightwatch's "Sock It to the Homeless" event. Just drop off your socks in the bin next to the Information Table in the lobby.

Malawi Ministry Night Saturday, 11 September, 6:30-8:00 pm at Green Lake Presbyterian Church. Songs for Saplings, a catechism music ministry, will present a children's concert, and Jay Stoms, professor of theology at African Bible College, will give a presentation of the Lord's work in Malawi.
