WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT GRACE?

Have you ever taken a moment to think, what is it about Grace that I love?

We asked your new Vestry to start off our recent Vestry Retreat with this question. The answers have been posted on the hallway bulletin board and we encourage you to add your thoughts as well! Stop by the Parish Hall and post your answers on the notecards provided.

After spending time reflecting on what this community means to us, your Vestry developed goals for 2018. The summary of the Vestry goals are available in the following link: 2018 Vestry Goals. We invite you to read what has been outlined and let any Vestry member know if you have questions.

We are thankful to have you as part of our church family and look forward to sharing 2018 with you as we continue to grow and serve the Goochland community!

Peace.
Emily
