Church Entrance Stairway Renewal Underway - update 23 August

23 Aug Update – forms have been removed.  A bit of concrete finishing will be done this week.  

 

21 Aug Update – the new concrete has been poured.  After it cures a bit the forms will be removed and new railings will be ordered.

 

The stone stairs leading from the street to the church entrance have served us well for many years, but time and weather have taken their toll. With noticeable shifting, cracking, and some steps becoming unstable, this year’s vestry approved a much-needed project to replace the stairs and bring them up to modern standards.

 

Work officially began on August 18th, starting with the removal of the old stone steps and the demolition of the upper patio, which had also begun to crack and shift over time.

 

In a lovely continuation of generosity, Anthony—who donated our heat pumps last summer (and which we’ve been especially grateful for during this hot season!)—has requested to repurpose the old stone. The stairs have been carefully set aside for him to collect.

We’re excited to see this transformation unfold and will keep you updated as the project progresses!

🐾 Pet Blessing Service – 5 October 202

Celebrating the Season of Creation

 

As part of our Season of Creation observance, we invite you to bring your cherished pets to a special blessing service on Sunday, 5 October, immediately following the 10am worship.

 

This joyful tradition celebrates the animals who share our lives and reminds us of our sacred connection to all living things. Whether furry, feathered, or scaled, all pets (and their humans!) are welcome.

 

If your pet is shy, anxious, or unable to attend in person, feel free to bring a photo or a small item that represents them—we’ll gladly include them in the blessing.

 

Let’s give thanks together for the gift of creation and the companions who bring us so much love.

Grace Book Club

Grace Book Club 

Tuesday 28 October at 7pm. 

 

We’re taking a summer break and will be back in the fall! Our next discussion will be on The Girls Take Control on October 28—a compelling sequel to our May selection, Frenemy Matriarchs, by Geoffrey Kiggundu, a fellow Grace parishioner.

 

If you are interested in ordering these novels, please let me or Geoffrey know. The author can get a discount. Each book is $20. They will make great summer reading.
