  • life-giving liturgical worship
  • joyful community
  • empowering others

We live our mission through worship, in which lay adults, children and youth participate alongside our clergy.  Traditional, life-giving Eucharistic liturgy and fine music are hallmarks of worship at our parish, and we have weekly services in both English and Spanish.  We create a joyful community with a harvest of fellowship activities and events for all ages.  We empower and serve others through vital ministries, particularly around feeding the hungry.  Please explore our website to get to know us or, better yet, come visit!

Christmas Giving Opportunities

Christmas Flowers Deadline December 8!

It’s time for Christmas Flower donations. Forms are available on the credenza, in the Narthex tract rack, and in the latest issue of Grace Notes. You may also donate online.  These donations cover the cost of the flowers and greens for Christmas and help with flower costs during the year.

Christmas Giving Program

The Thanksgiving Basket program helped 105 families in the community with either baskets and gift cards (74) or just gift cards (31)! The Outreach Committee is asking for your support again. Our goal is to help as many in our La Gracia community as possible. Please donate money for the purchase of gift cards so that they can purchase gifts for their families.  The cards will be distributed to those families and individuals identified by the clergy and lay ministers. The deadline is Sunday, December 17 and distribution will be the week before Christmas. Please contact Sally Schneider with questions. Thank you for your many blessings!

Calling all bakers!

Help us provide 20 dozen homemade Christmas treats for our DIA military and civilian personnel who cannot be home for the holidays. Drop off is Sunday, December 10 by noon in the office. The chaplain overseeing this agency will pick up the cookies and deliver them to the different agencies. Please register the number of dozens of cookies you’re bringing at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e45aba62eabf94-cookies or email Jenni for additional information.
