Summary Dear Amazing Grace Church, Happy Easter! A rainy chilly day here but we celebrated the resurrection in fine style. Thanks for waiting for this email. Had a nice long chat with my mom. She didn’t like the food for Easter dinner today. Sorry. The holidays like this bring back so many memories of years…
DetailsSummary Dear Amazing Grace people, Happy Sunday! Today we remembered New York, as tomorrow is 911 – which, just to say the name, makes us think of New York City, not just an emergency phone number. Bernice Young was near the Towers on that day. The trauma lives on and we just cannot shut it…
DetailsSummary Dear Amazing Grace people, Today we celebrated communion with joy, and with anticipation of feasting with the Lord one day in heaven. Until then, we as a church will become not only a hunger action congregation, but a church of praying saints. With our prayers throughout each day, inspired by news, conversations, concerns, and…

How does he keep up that spunky humor? To sit at a…

You’ve received the announcements from Mary – and in addition there…
DetailsSummary Dear Amazing Grace people, Merry Christmas in July!
