Fellowship Groups

Together in Christ

We Work, Serve, and Celebrate Together

As members of a community committed to Christ, we share our lives and faith with one another. As we work and talk together and share one another’s burdens, we grow in wisdom and understanding.

Many of our fellowship activities involve food, from simple suppers during Advent and Lent to a big church picnic at the end of the summer. Grace Church has a long tradition of gracious hospitality, with a warm and caring welcome for all. Make new friends as you share a meal in Fellowship Hall or as you help to prepare food in the kitchen.

We are a group of men in our church and school community who have children, at home or in college. We gather monthly, often in someone’s backyard, to catch up, reflect on faith and life, and offer support to one another in the journey of fatherhood. It’s always a great time, and new people are always welcome.

Faith Forum

Second Tuesday of the month at 10 a.m.
Location: Church Library
We are a group that meet monthly for a discussion on a certain topic. Past presentations have ranged from theology and ministry to social and political issues as well as music, art, and poetry. Some recent presentations have focused on Israel, Palestine, and the war in Gaza; the changing face of the ELCA; local effects of climate change; reflections of an army chaplain; and the interpretation of Orthodox icons. Presenters include familiar faces from the Grace community, as well as seminary professors, pastors from other churches, and leaders of non-profits.
