Worship at Grace is based in the ancient liturgy of the Church. We pray, praise and learn through music, reading of Scripture, sermons, and weekly celebration of communion. We follow the liturgical calendar that takes us through a journey of discipleship as we move through the seasons of the church year:

• Advent - a season of preparation at the beginning of the church year, beginning four Sundays before Christmas. The focus is opening our hearts and minds to the in-breaking of God's promise. The theme is expectation and hope; the color is blue.

• Christmas - the season of celebrating God's Promise enfleshed in Christ, entering into our world in the dark, poor, and unexpected places to bring us salvation. The theme is rejoicing, and the color is white.

• Epiphany- when we recognize that God's promise is revealed, not just for a few, but for the entire world. The theme is revelation of light, and the color is green.

• Lent - another season of preparation, and turning our hearts back to God in preparation for the sacrifice Jesus makes for our healing. The theme is repentance, and the color is purple--the symbol of Jesus' kingship.

• Easter - the season of celebrating Christ's resurrection, and his victory over death in all its forms. The theme is joy, and the color is white.

• Pentecost - a long season (almost half the year) of learning what it means to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus--both the blessings and the challenges. The theme is growth in faith, and the color is green.

Some Sundays may include special rites such as a Service of Healing, where you are invited to come forward for prayer and anointing (if you like). This rite is a really wonderful way for the entire community to lift prayers for wholeness for individuals in our community.

While we are deeply connected to the ancient traditions of the Christian community, we also express ourselves in a variety of ways. Music can range from pipe organ and chanting to global music traditions with percussion, string, wood and brass instruments. Our focus is always to praise God and nourish God's people with Word and Sacrament. Our worship forms us and prepares us to be God's people in, and for, the world.​
