SUNDAY
SCHOOL
Each Sunday at 11:45 AM, Grace offers a
Sunday School program
for all ages. All are welcome.
WORSHIP
Our traditional worship services, at 1:00 pm each Sunday, reflect the
traditions of the Lutheran expression of the Church and use liturgies
from the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) and Marty Haugen; and hymns from the LBW, With One
Voice and Renewing Worship. On the 3rd Saturday of each month, the
service is more contemporary and less formal
and uses music and songs from a variety of sources.
Holy Communion is offered
at all Sunday services.
LUTHERAN
MEN IN MISSION
The men of Grace are offered the opportunity to participate in Lutheran
Men in Mission. This group meets on a regular basis and participates in
the life of the congregation in a number of ways and is also active in a
variety of service projects.
COMMUNITY
MINISTRY
Grace has a long history of commitment to serving the needs
of people in the surrounding community, in the Central Ohio area, and to
people touched by national or international crises.
Locally, those activities include a partnership
with Liberty Elementary School to provide assistance to students, a
tutoring program to assist younger students from Liberty, support of the
Food Pantry and other ministries of Lutheran Social Services,
participation in activities at Faith Mission, and help with a housing program
named Fresh Start..
We are able to respond to national and
international needs through Lutheran Social Services, through our
Southern Ohio Synod, through our national church (the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America), and through organizations like Lutheran
World Relief.

GRACE
LUTHERAN CHURCH WOMEN
There is an active women's organization at Grace that provides women
with several ways to participate. There are three Circles available (one
during the day; two during the evening.) that meet monthly for
fellowship and Bible study. The women participate in a number of service
areas; hold an annual Women's Banquet; oversee a number of meals
throughout the year; prepare quilts and kits for use overseas through
Lutheran World Relief; hold retreats; lead an annual Women's
Thankoffering Service and participate in local and national events.
YOUTH
The congregation has
always valued the role of youth in the life of the church. Some
activities involve youth of all ages. Some activities are focused on
junior and senior high youth. Some of the activities provide service to
the congregation or to the community. Some activities are social in
nature. Other activities have a spiritual emphasis.
MUSIC
Since the time of Martin Luther himself, the Lutheran tradition has
always valued and emphasized the role of music in our worship and
spiritual life. Grace is proud to maintain that same tradition.
Adults sing in the Chancel Choir as well as in
smaller groups or offer solos. Children and youth sing in the Youth
Choir. Individual instrumentalists enrich our services on a regular
basis. And the congregation supports all of those activities with its
own strong singing during worship.
NURSING
HOME MINISTRY
We offer a
Musical and Inspirational Nursing Home Ministry. We would be
more than happy to visit the nursing home where your loved one or
friend is living and present an hour of Gospel Music and
inspirational stories. Please contact us to set up a Sunday
for us to come to your Nursing Home,
Retirement
Center
or Adult Care Facility.
