Hospitality Guild
Throughout the year, Grace Church puts on many special events and opportunities for table fellowship. At parish dinners, summer cookouts, and other festive receptions, the Hospitality Guild helps set the table, lay the buffet, and extend the church’s hospitality to members and newcomers alike. If you would like to be on the list of people we reach out to as hospitality volunteers, please contact Travis Kenendy.
Grace Church Women
The Grace Church Women (GCW) is a vibrant blend of all ages, acting as a creative, energetic influence in the parish. Throughout the year, the GCW brings the community together at a variety of fundraisers and events, such as breast cancer education discussions, presentations by the League of Women Voters, Shrove Sunday brunch, summer ice cream socials, and Trivia Night. Funds raised help support our food ministry partner, The Red Door Place, the New York Haiti Project, and House with Heart, among others. The Grace Church Christmas Fair is hosted by the GCW each year in early November. Contact the Rev. Eva Suarez to learn more.
