SECOND SUNDAYWe love the old hymns, but we're done with Phantom of the Opera on that church organ! So we're singing the great old songs to live acoustic accompaniment (roots music): guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin, flute, viola, three and four-part harmonies, and one knock-out baby grand piano!
And every Second Sunday of each month we're packing the stage with guest musicians and adding songs to our repertoire JUST FOR YOU (well, we'd probably do it anyway, but we sure hope you'll join us!) We're also doing gospel Americana and originals. Add to that a straight-shootin', politically-incorrect message from the Bible and a great little brunch after the service, and you've got SECOND SUNDAY at Grace Church: Two and a half hours of sanctified cool (9:00am to 11:30am).
JOIN US, will you? Hand-clapping and occasional loud whooping encouraged.

SUNDAY at GRACE is saturated with sanctified cool.
EVERY SUNDAY MORNING people come through the doors at the corner of Shippen and Locust Streets for Americana roots-driven psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, an honest-to-God Bible sermon, and meaningful dialog on the stuff of life.
OUR WORSHIP HOUR (yeah, we try to pack it all into one hour) begins at 9am. Come early (about 8:30) and you can settle in your padded pew and enjoy the live, instrumental piano-forte of Glenn Hough as he tickles the ivories on his baby grand. On the third Sunday of each month, Glenn takes a break and Ripple (our acoustic roots-worship team) plays that prelude.
On SECOND SUNDAY (each month) we’ve got three hours of sanctified cool! Twice as much music (and sometimes twice as many musicians and vocalists) in the worship service and then Brunch and Bible in place of the Sunday school hour. New menu each month!
NURSERY is available during the 9:00 a.m. service for children age 3 and under.
FAMILY BIBLE HOUR (we get this all done in 60 minutes also...and usually less) follows worship and begins at 10:30. This is an all-age Sunday School class: Bible study, discussion and fellowship.
THE REST of the WEEK
MIDWEEK MANNA is held Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. in the Welcome Center at the Grace Centre. Light lunch, brief devotional and dialogue, and prayer.
GRACE GROUPS (small groups which meet in homes) are formed as needed and meet at various times and in various places throughout the city and the county. These relational groups provide ongoing opportunities for further fellowship, a deeper study of the Bible, and the building of Christian community among us.
LADIES ONLY, a women's fellowship event, is held once monthly (on a Saturday morning) at differing locations each month. Call the church for location monthly.
RIPPLE (our Americana roots acoustic band) plays out and about as opportunities arise. Whether at Musser Park in Lancaster or some bar along the Susquehanna, we’d love to have you singing along. Check the Grace Calendar for details.
