Grace Church ~ who we are ...
Facebook post about the message
Facebook post about our response
In 2013, on the Monday of Pentecost, we at Grace Church received a very important message left by a confused, scared teenager. She spray painted “will I still get to heaven if I kill myself” in two-foot tall letters on the side of our church. While most don’t know how to appropriately respond to something like that, Grace Church responded the only way we know how, with love. And so “GOD LOVES YOU NO EXCEPTIONS!” was proudly spray painted right next to her fear-filled question. In the following days, the message was spread widely on-line and in social media. Some weeks later, the young woman who vandalized the church came to a Sunday worship to apologize. She wasn't prepared for our response, for after her nervous apology, she was greeted with warm and sincere hugs, and words of welcome, by every single parishioner.
This is who we are.
We really do welcome you!
