Prayer Corner
We have a special place for prayer & meditation at Grace. Located on the downstairs level near the church parlor, by the PRAYER CORNER sign. We have a prayer chapel available for everyone’s use. There are prayer books & written prayers available for your use and there’s music & lighting to sit quietly in meditation with God in prayer. The prayer chapel will be open on Sunday mornings & can be accessed during church office hours, by stopping into the office for a key. Books may be borrowed if you return them in a timely manner for others to use.
Prayer Boxes
Grace has prayer boxes both in the narthex and outside the front doors! Please complete the prayer request slip, place it in the box and our Caring Crafters will pray for you. Prayer requests can be anonymous or you can include your name. Everything with and through our prayer ministries remains confidential. Always know we are here for you!

Prayer for Grace’s healthcare workers and first responders
God, our peace and our strength, we pray for our nation and the world as we face new uncertainties around coronavirus. Protect the most vulnerable among us, especially all who are currently sick or in isolation. Grant wisdom, patience, and clarity to health care workers, especially as their work caring for others puts them at great risk. Guide us as we consider how best to respond in our families, congregations, workplaces, and communities. Give us courage to face these days not with fear, but with compassion, concern, and acts of service.
We ask your blessing and protection upon our healthcare workers and first-responders….
Marianne C., Cristen C., Darius C., Sandra G., Lena G., Sarah H., Tammy J., David M., Susan M., Mary M., Adam M., Susan O.,
Jamie O., Jan S., Kristen S., Rhonda S.
