  • 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!

Grace News, July 22

Confirmation at Grace

We will be hosting a special “area” confirmation service for our Diocese on September 24 at 4 p.m.  The Rt. Rev. David Jones will preside.  This will include reception (for those confirmed in other denominations) and reaffirmation (for those confirmed years ago in the Episcopal Church).  Please contact the Rector if you are interested or if you have any questions.

Brown Bag Lunch Week – July 31 – August 4

Thank you to the awesome number of you who have signed up to make sandwiches for this effort. Our quota has been filled. If you need instructions, please email linda.waskowicz@gracealex.org. There is still a need for a few servers…you never work alone at Meade Memorial and there are available instructions.

Lector Sign-Up

The lector sign-up sheet is now in the lector folder in the credenza. Please take a couple of minutes to sign up to read at several services.

Foyer Groups

Join a small group of parishioners, both married couples and singles, for a monthly dinner in one another’s homes. If desired by the group, meetings can also be held in the church, restaurants, or at other venues.  Foyer Groups for families who wish to include children are also available. Everyone is welcome to participate.  Registration is beginning.  Please contact Sharron Hickoksharron.hickok@gracealex.org for more information.

Housekeeping at Church

We are hoping to have a clean out day in July where volunteers will be going through the attic and basement.  If you have stuff stored there, please contact our Senior Warden, Lorna Worley, at lorna.worley@gmail.com

How full is your garden?

Do you have a vegetable garden?  Consider giving a portion of your bounty to the Food Pantry.  During the summer, we try to provide fresh fruits and vegetables as bonus options for our clients.
