Coffee Hour
Following the 7:30 AM Sunday
Eucharist, coffee is served in the St. Mark Room (on the second floor of Merrow Hall).
After the 9:00 AM Eucharist (10:00 AM in the summer), coffee is served
in the Merrow Hall auditorium (on the third floor). After the 11:15 AM Eucharist, coffee hour
is held in the Commons (lobby outside the parish office). Volunteers prepare
and serve coffee and tea punch and are responsible for cleanup.
Foyers
Foyers are groups
of parishioners (usually 8 to 12) who meet monthly at one another's homes
for a simple supper and social time. Foyers that wish to include children
may also be arranged. Sharon and Phil Hickok are the coordinators.

Parties and Potlucks
Grace Church has parties and potluck
suppers at various times throughout the year. Help is always needed to set
up, bring food, work in the kitchen and clean up. Prior to most special
events, posters are displayed in the church, and everyone is encouraged to
sign up for one or more tasks.
Shrine Mont Retreat
Each fall, the second weekend in
September, Grace parishioners have a weekend retreat at Shrine Mont in the
Blue Ridge Mountains. The weekend is filled with worship, fellowship, and
lots of activities—all of which are optional. Barry Barr and Jean Centers
are the coordinators for 2008.

Regular Thursday Night Potluck Dinners
Each Thursday at 6:30 PM,
parishioners bring a dish to share in a potluck supper in the Auditorium in Merrow Hall. All
are welcome. Lorna Worley is the Coordinator.
Young Adults: Twenties and Thirties (TNT)
The TNT program provides social,
spiritual and service activities for young adults, ages 20 – 40. Heather
Hurley is the vestry program coordinator for 2007 and Marianne Swearingen is the non-vestry program coordinator.
Youth
Through the
Youth Program, Grace Church
offers youth several opportunities for fun, fellowship and service, meeting
on Sunday evenings as announced. During the school year, one of the
parish's programs hosts a dinner for the youth of the parish once a month on
a Sunday evening. The three groups correspond to the three
Sunday School classes for grades six to twelve and use the Journey to
Adulthood curriculum. Rich Kelly is the 2008 vestry program coordinator
for youth and Chrissie Crosby is the non-vestry program leader.
