Finding Your Way Around Grace: Special Guided Tours, Scavenger Hunts, and More!

We are very aware that school starts back for most in August now, not like it once did back when the Earth’s crust cooled. So, to have a “soft start” this year with our formation opportunities, we will be offering a series of special tours for those who may want to learn more about the campus–and to see the renovations throughout the building! If you are newer to the parish’s life, these tours will help you enormously, but even if you have been at Grace for a good long while, I bet you’ll learn something you didn’t know. Here is a schedule of special events on Sundays in August from 9:30 – 10:30 AM:

Sunday, August 4 Join us for light pastries, juice, and coffee in the Parish Hall and a fun scavenger hunt throughout the building. Each person can get a special card that leads them to rooms that will all have special clues. Put the clues together and win prizes!

Sunday, August 11 Join clergy and some staff for guided tours throughout the building. We will begin in the Parish Hall and break people into small groups, to then spread out through the campus to highlight key areas that support our common life. (If you’re really nice, we’ll show you the basement).

Sunday, August 18 Join us in the nave for a guided liturgical tour with Fr. Stuart and Jason Voyles, our head verger. If you have ever wondered what the difference is between a ciborium and a purificator, or, honestly, why we call this special space the nave, this tour is for you.

Sunday, August 25 Fr. Stuart will meet in the Parish Hall with anyone who wants to be on the planning committee for our upcoming Bicentennial Celebration!

CE classes for children, youth, and adults will begin on Sunday, September 8.
