"His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"
Jesus said: "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.""

THANK YOU
To the Grace Community
Take a few minutes to check it out. Look at the beautiful photos, the description of what we have done and continue to do as a congregation, wonderfully described.
A special thanks to Liz Weber for all the work she did in creating the website and for spearheading this major effort. Liz was very ably supported by Emily and Jacob Nevill. We are grateful for their combined effort to create such an attractive, functional, and informative website for Grace. Thank you!
Regards,

Counseling with Grace
“Counseling with Grace” is a variation of a program offered by Brother Jon Bankert (1944-2007) that strove to provide all people with short-term, low cost, individual counseling @ Grace Church, Nyack. Once again, we are here to help people work through mental health challenges including but not limited to:
- Anxiety and depression
- Bereavement
- Career transitioning
- Living free of addictive people or substances
- Learning to love themself
This program can also help people with finding local resources that may support their needs. This program is not designed to be psychotherapy, EMDR trauma therapy, or a replacement for 12-step involvement.
People in the Nyack and neighboring communities would be welcomed to participate in Sessions 1-4 @ $15, Sessions 6-10 @ $25. Location is offered in person at Grace Church, via Face Time or Zoom.
Please contact Caran Pullen, LMHC if you are interested in more information at caran.pullen@gmail.com or call at 845-499-4279.

Don't Hesitate
If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,
don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty
of lives and whole towns destroyed or about
to be. We are not wise, and not very often
kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this
is its way of fighting back, that sometimes
something happens better than all the riches
or power in the world. It could be anything,
but very likely you notice it in the instant
when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the
case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid
of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
