Grace Prime Time provides fellowship and home-cooked meals in a setting where friends and family gather during the week to nurture relationships that tie Grace's family together. Dinner is served at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, in the Fellowship Hall during the school year up until the week before Thanksgiving and resume typically the second Wednesday after New Years, going until the start of Lent. They resume
after Easter and run through about the first Wednesday of May, when the summer
break begins. Chancel Choir, confirmation class, Women's Bible Study, and sometimes a class (Adult Forum) take place afterwards at 7 pm. GPT Dinner coordinator is Thomas Guy. Come, join in the good fellowship!
Grace's Greatest is a retiree group who typically gather at noon for pot luck lunch and a program on the third Tuesday of the month. In addition to such lunch gatherings, the group has gone on field trips to the Cumberland County playhouse and other area attractions. Richard Servis is the coordinator.
The Men's Fellowship is open to men of all ages and meets on the second Saturday of the month at 8am for breakfast, fellowship, and a broad spectrum of programs. Topics have ranged from travelogues, glimpses into careers and hobbies, as well as spiritual stimulation. Projects have involved work with Habitat for Humanity, the YWCA Women's Shelter, and sponsorship of the church's Boy Scout program. This
group provides tool kits to women leaving the Spouse Abuse Shelter to live
independently. It also provides the buffet breakfast served on Easter morning and invites the women of the church to its February meeting for a Valentine-centered program, usually of music.
Writer's Group
Grace has a group of writers who meet more or less monthly and work both on personal writing projects and on assignments to develop their writing skills. They also are doing a project to help members of Grace get better acquainted by profiling two members a month in the church newsletter (Grace's Faces). Annie Long
coordinates the group.
Advent Gathering/Hanging of the Greens
Advent Gathering is held the first Saturday of December and is for all ages. Activities and decorating the church for Christmas are the focus. Crafts for kids and adults will be available, and soup luncheon is served. Nurturing Commission coordinates this event.
