Special days include Christmas Eve, Christmas Day (10:30 a.m.) and New Year's Eve, Ash Wednesday (12:30 p.m. and evening service with the Imposition of Ashes), Holy Week (with services on the evenings of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday), Easter Sunrise Divine Service (6:30 a.m.) and Easter Day Divine Service (10:30 a.m.), Ascension of Our Lord (40 days after Easter, always on a Thursday evening), and Thanksgiving Eve.

The Lord's Supper
Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church practices closed communion.
This means that confirmed members of Grace and of our sister congregations in The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod are welcomed to commune. We do not wish to insult or offend other Christians by not communing them, and we respectfully ask our guests to honor our practice and not commune. We simply want to remain faithful to God's Word.
If you feel uncertain whether you may commune, please speak to the
pastor before the service.
Individual Confession and Absolution
Wednesdays, 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., or by appointment.
"Whereas consciences become burdened by sin, and whereas one may not fully recognize God's forgiveness, the pastor can speak God's saving Word directly to each individual."
