Diocesan News - T he Rt. Rev. Susan E. Goff, Bishop Suffragan and Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese of Virginia, is honored to announce the appointment of the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson as Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia. Bishop Brooke-Davidson has been Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of West Texas since July, 2017. Bishop Brooke-Davidson will begin her ministry with the Diocese on November 4th.

Altar Guild - Do you know the function of the Altar Guild? According to the Episcopal Church, the altar guild is a "volunteer group of the parish whose ministry is to care for the altar, vestments, vessels, and altar linens of the parish. Altar Guild members prepare the sanctuary for services, and clean up afterwards." At Grace, the Altar Guild also helps to decorate with flowers or greens. The Altar Guild is in need of assistance! This is a critical ministry so if you are interested in learning more about it, please talk to Emily or Carolyn Stevens.

Blessing of the Animals - Mark your calendars. The Blessing of the Animals will be Sunday, October 6th at 11 am. At this service, we will be collecting donations of pet food for the GoochlandCares Food Pantry.
