AT GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH, WE SAY THIS EVERY SUNDAY BEFORE COMMUNION:

“This is the table, not of the church but of Jesus Christ. It is made ready for those who love him and who want to love him more. So come, you who have much faith and you who have little; you who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time or ever before; you who have tried to follow and you who have failed; Come, not because the church invites you; It is Christ, and he invites you to meet him here.”*

WE MEAN IT.

WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU HERE.
