Fellowship Hall
If you are new to Grace (since January), we would like to invite you to attend lunch after second service on July 17 in the fellowship hall. This will be an informal time where you can meet other people within the congregation and receive information about how to connect within the community. RSVP to Jane Ickes.
 

Grace Kids Help Needed

Our children need your genuine presence and care. You will be encouraged by theirs! Please sign up to serve our children and families for the next ministry year, starting in September. There are many roles and age groups to partner with. Please join us as we seek to nurture faith in our community's youngest members.  Contact Heidi Hansen at heidi@graceseattle.org with questions or to start the application process. Next orientation will be August 7th 10:30 am.

Parish Model

We are excited about helping people connect with others within the congregation who live near them, and we hope that these parishes will become not only a blessing to our congregation but to our neighbors who aren’t part of Grace as well. We understand that there are many factors that create friendship and connection, and we are by no means trying to “assign” friendships based on geography! We simply see this as one more way to help members of our community connect with one another and participate in life together. Click here to sign up for your parish.  If you have questions or want more information about the parish model, please contact Debbie Smith  at debbie@graceseattle.org. Stay tuned for more details about the initial parish fellowships coming sometime this summer!
