The foundation of our faith is Jesus Christ. Scripture readings are an important part of our worship services, daily devotionals, and education as we come to know Him.

Prayer at Grace Church

Prayer is the power of our faith. Without it we are so much straw in the wind. We, of course, have formal prayers at each of our services but that can all too often be perfunctory. So in addition, we have a prayer chain for those urgent requests and we have a prayer group that meets at 1:30 pm each Wednesday in the Library. Twice a month we have healing prayers with the laying on of hands by parishioners and anointing with oil immediately following the last service. Most important of all are the prayer warriors in our midst who are on their knees each day in the privacy of their daily lives. God bless us one and all in these efforts.
