The men of Grace have a vibrant program that started over 20 years ago. On the second Saturday of each month, the men gather at 8:00am in the Family Room (downstairs) or in a home for a delicious breakfast, a nourishing Bible study, and supportive fellowship.

Contact Warren Clayton for more information.

Grace will host a food packing event in Wester Hall, along with members of St. Christopher’s Episcopal, St. Mark’s Lutheran, and Springfield United Methodist.  Everyone is invited to join in this joyful partnership even!  Funded by the Lilly Grant from Pastor Ben’s Sabbatical, the event aims to strengthen relation-ships among the congregations while combating food insecurity in our community.  After the 600 food packs are completed, we will share a soup supper with our neighbor congregations, finishing by around 6:00.

Are you looking for a way to set everything down, turn off the chaotic and deeply troubling news of the world, and find a time and place to refresh your heart and spirit? Then join us for Centering Prayer on Monday mornings, beginning September 8. In this group you will find a loving community of seekers who wish to be refreshed in silence as they grow closer to God. Join once, a few times, or every Monday to experience the love, hope, and healing that time in sacred silence provides. All are welcome. For information, contact Cindi Bryant.

Linda Hitchens and Meg Rogers will facilitate this 3-session conversation on challenging topics of current interest and how our faith impacts our responses. Questions to be explored include:
Should Others Have the Power to Dictate What You Can Read? and Does it Matter What We Call Things?

Online (Zoom). Contact Meg or Linda.
