Launch your week in community and reflection (and coffee and treats!) at Grace.

There is no prep needed for this group — just show up! We'll be exploring one Psalm every session using Eugene Peterson's Psalms: Prayers of the Heart. Together we'll explore how the Psalms open our conversation with God in new ways.

Here are some of the topics: Praying Our: Inattention, Intimidation, Trouble, Creation, Fear, Hate, Tears, Doubt, Death, Praise.

Questions? Please contact Kim Cockroft or Florrie Munat.

We are in a moment where having a firm foundation may be essential. Being grounded in our values and beliefs protects us from anxiety, postures us towards hope, and emboldens us with courage. Being rooted in the presence and power of God’s Spirit enables us to flourish, even when things are tough and distressing. Our faith matters; tending to our own spiritual growth and development is key to our well-being.

This season, in addition to Sunday worship, we have several opportunities to feed our souls. The Wednesday Gathering is a place for thoughtful conversation on the Biblical texts for the week, healing prayer, and Eucharist. Each Thursday at 5:00 p.m. you can sit with others for Meditation and Centering Prayer. Beginning February 3, on Monday mornings at 10:00 a.m. you can join others for Coffee & a Psalm — conversation on Eugene Peterson’s reflections on the Psalms. Finally, Kim Cockroft and I are developing a course during Lent focused on “How Then Should We Live?” Be on the lookout for more info on that.

Beginning February 9, after the 9:30 a.m. service, I will also be offering a Foundations Class. It is designed for those who want a deeper understanding of the Episcopal Church and my particular take on Christianity. If you are new to Grace, curious about the Episcopal tradition, a teenager or adult who wants to be confirmed, or have been around Grace a while and want a refresher — this class is for you. It’s a new members class, a confirmation class, and a spiritual repast combined.  – Rev. Eric Mason

“All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do” — Galatians 2:10

In February, Grace's Outreach Ministry will be repeating our successful project from last year: blessing bags! Please put any of the following items in the baskets in the narthex. We will assemble the bags on Service Sunday, February 23rd.

small packs of Kleenex® • dried fruit packets • small reusable water bottles • mint gum packets • soft snack bars • small packs of wet wipes • snack size cheese and crackers • hand warmers • gloves

Rides are needed to 9:30 a.m. Sunday services for Ellen Walls, who lives in Winslow across from Ace Hardware.

Thanks very much to all who have offered rides!

This Web of Life Gathering will be hosted by the Bainbridge Island North Kitsap Interfaith Climate Circle.

Our guest speaker Michael Pilarski, founder of the Global Earth Repair Foundation, has been studying the role of microorganisms and fungi in ecosystems for 40 years, farming organically for over 50 years, and teaching permaculture since 1981.

Michael will help us learn about healthy soil’s critical role in nourishing life, and how it can mitigate climate issues. With reverence, humility, and gratitude, we will explore the universe of soil. For more info: contact: Kathryn LaFond or climatecirclebinkifc@gmail.com.

The Agate Pass Threshold Choir, one of more than 200 Threshold Choirs worldwide, will offer an hour of calming songs, beautiful harmonies, and inspiring stories that uplift the human spirit and create moments of grace during difficult times.

Take your mind away from the troubles of the world as gentle voices sing simple, meditative songs to relax and replenish your spirit. Learn how Threshold singers provide comfort to those in pain or at the end of life and how you can request their presence for a friend or loved one.

A reception follows this free event. Donations are welcome.

Learn more, and listen to the choir here.

7th – 12th grades

Games, Hot Drinks, Sweet Treats

Sponsored by Grace & St. Barnabas Episcopal Churches with the other Open & Affirming churches and youth organizations of Bainbridge Island.

at Coquette, Winslow Green

What if it’s our job as parents to help our kids get to know God and discover that God can be trusted? What if faith is not constructed brick by brick, but rather woven strand by strand?

We'll be discussing Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From, by Meredith Miller.

We will meet on the second Monday of each month at Kim Cockroft's home. Details and RSVP – kim@gracehere.org.

Live music, images, and poetry invite reflection on our changing climate.

For the Birds features a jazz quintet performing the original music of Seattle pianist and composer Nelda Swiggett. But this is not just a concert. The performance engages the power of artistic expression — live music, spoken words, images and poetry — to connect audiences deeply and emotionally to the scientific realities of climate change. Ultimately this is a story of hope, and audiences leave the performance feeling empowered to take meaningful action.

Why birds? Birds are a part of our daily life experience, and an inspiring connection to the natural world. But climate change is having a significant and alarming impact on many bird species, and this should be a wake-up call for all of us.

Hosted by the Earth and Spirit Ministry of Grace

Suggested Donation $10 - $20 / Students $5

Monday – Thursday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Experience the ancient art of “writing” the Gospel with paint and prayer. Join this five-day, all-inclusive day retreat, led by renowned iconographer, Theresa Harrison. Using JoSonja acrylic paints and 23 carat gold leaf, paint an icon of your choice together in sacred community at Grace Church.

We begin each morning with prayers and Eucharist and spend the day in quiet meditation.
