Some words used to describe music at Grace are, “creative classical,” or “unorthodox traditional.” We are a little bit eclectic, and we like it that way. Congregational hymn singing is a major part of worship, that is music sung by a group of people in worship of God. That may mean a hymn your great grandmother grew up with, or a hymn that was written last week!
Our Chancel Choir leads music most Sundays of the year, learning old and new anthems in a variety of styles. We practice Wednesday evenings at 6:30 and all experience levels (or no experience) are welcome.
If you have other musical gifts you would like to use to help us worship God together, we want to know that. Please reach out to chris@rvagrace.org and let him know!

Typically when we read the middle of John 15 the word that jumps out is “love,” with good reason, mostly because it is mentioned 8 times over just a couple verses. However, the connective tissue for Sunday, May 5th is verse 11: “I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” Love creates opportunity for joy, and joy breathes life into love.

This Sunday, April 28th, is the fifth Sunday of Eastertide. It is also the Sunday following Earth Day. We have chosen as a staff to focus on how we are connected to creation, and are charged with being stewards of all that God has made.
