From our treasurer

Pledge payments were much stronger in May and June, so Grace’s financial picture is currently strong. Please continue to keep your pledge current, especially during the summer months when many of us travel.

A PRAYER FOR OUR RECTOR SEARCH

O God, who has blessed and sustained us through the years; we ask that you continue to lead us, stretch us, and direct us, in our search for a new rector. Raise for us, we pray, a priest and pastor who will boldly proclaim your Gospel, faithfully administer your sacraments, and serve your people with love and compassion, that we may continue to grow in the likeness of Christ and be a beacon of love and hope to our community and the world. To the glory of your Holy Name. Amen.
