Please bring donations for the Military Assistance Pantry this Sunday, or drop them off in the Grace Lobby any time this week.

Thank you for your generosity.

Rite 13 is a ceremony that celebrates a child's rite of passage into adolescence. Rite 13 offers a way to mark the transition to adolescence while saving the rite of confirmation for high schoolers who have had more time to grapple with what they believe. Rite 13 is a complement to Confirmation, not a replacement. This is an opportunity for families and friends to gather and recognize the maturation of our youth. The ceremony is for youth turning 13 before the next school year starts or who have turned 13 since last July. Most who participate are in 7th or 8th grade.

An application form for participation in the next ceremony of September 2019 can be submitted to the church office (see form).
