 If you’ve been thinking about taking this step—or know someone who is—we’d be honored to walk alongside you. Join us for a powerful Baptism Service on All Saints Day (11/2) as we celebrate new life, renewed faith, and the joy of transformation. Not sure where to start? Just call our office today—we're here to help!

Grace Episcopal Church is hosting a Potluck Dinner on Thursday, November 6 at 6:00 PM, and you're invited! Join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and fun as we gather to share our favorite dishes and create the Grace Church Cookbook. Simply bring a dish to share along with a recipe card—we’d love to include your special creation in our collection. A sign-up sheet is available in the Lees Lane Lobby. Not a member of Grace but want to participate? We’d love to have you! Call the church office at 810-985-9539 for more information. Let’s fill our cookbook with love, flavor, and community! 

Join us for a free yoga class dedicated to veterans and their families, offered in gratitude for their service.

Space is limited, so please be sure to sign up in advance. Sign-up sheet is located in the Lees Lane Lobby or email your information to secretary@graceporthuron.net.
