Grace would like to thank everyone who attended, advertised, donated, or wished us well on the Anniversary of our 175th year as a Parish on City Island. It was a glorious day, and we would not be here without your support!
God bless you all!
Welcome!
We are an inclusive community of Christians, bound together by our belief that
Holy Scripture contains the very core
of all Christian faith and thought.
We live out these core beliefs through worship and parish programs, community outreach, seeking God's love in study and prayer
and giving of our means and talents to
the greater purpose of God's work.
If you live in the community or are visiting,
please stop by on Sunday,
we'd love to meet you!
The Holy Eucharist, Rite II, will be celebrated this Sunday at 10:00 AM, followed by
Coffee Hour in the Parish Hall.
All are Welcome!
The Collect for the Twenty-Fifth Sunday
after Pentecost
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
For 175 years, Grace Church has provided a spiritual home and "shelter from the storm" for all sorts and conditions of people: local residents and passing wayfarers; families and individuals; young people and seniors; life-long Christians, and those just beginning to explore a relationship with our Lord. In short, there is a place for you. If you have never visited Grace before, or if it has been a long time since you worshipped with us, we encourage you to come visit soon. We are a warm, growing Christian community, and we would be delighted to count you among our number. As an Episcopal Church and a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion, we strive to offer a "middle way" between the Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions. Followers of Jesus Christ, we honor both Word and Sacrament, immersing ourselves in Holy Scripture each week before gathering at the Lord's Table to be fed by Holy Communion. Together we celebrate Communion (the Eucharist) every Sunday at 10 AM, and we invite you to join us at any time.
We hope that you will take a few moments to navigate the pages of this website and get to know us better. Perhaps you are "just passing through," or maybe you are looking for a permanent spiritual home: Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your journey of faith, know that you are most welcome here. Come and see for yourself!
