For the past two Sundays, we have heard leaders in our community answer the question, “What sustains you?” 

This Sunday, in place of the homily at both services, Rev. Barbara Weza, Archdeacon for the Diocese of Olympia and Executive Director of Chaplains on the Harbor, will speak to us about this Grays Harbor organization, and what sustains her in her ministry.

Each Easter we remember and celebrate those we love with the gift of floral arrangements and a special dedication in the Easter Day bulletin. To contribute to our Easter Flower Fund and share the names of your loved ones, visit our website for forms and payment info. Paper forms will also be included in the March 30 bulletin and available in the narthex. Submission deadline: Sunday, April 13.

The Growing Grace committee was formed in 2024 in response to a felt need by Grace’s leadership to expand our membership while also sustaining our community’s spiritual growth. Our newest iteration of this committee has been strategically and prayerfully grappling with the question, “How may we become more welcoming?”

Carrie West attended Grace for many years, and has asked for some of her ashes to be buried along the trail on Grace Land.

She left a big legacy in many arenas. Carrie was deeply involved with sustainability and preservation of the land, Friends of the Farm, and introducing organic produce to Charlie’s Produce. She climbed mountains, rode her bike on many outings, and kayaked around Puget Sound.

You may read her obituary here.

All are welcome to the online tribute for former Grace member and pianist Connie Culver at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 29th. To receive a link, email her daughter, Denise Nelson.

Our deepest thanks for the overflowing generosity extended to the Hasimi family after the birth of their twin daughters. RWG has now welcomed another Afghan family! Aziz is a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holder, having worked for the U.S. Government as a translator. He arrived at Sea-Tac with his wife and four children (ages 4-10) on March 18th and was greeted by Kathy, Barbara, and Kathy Gillogley. After the family has stayed for a short time in an Airbnb, RWG will cover a minimum of three months' rent and utilities in a furnished apartment for the Aziz family, as well as food and basic needs for 30 days. RWG will provide assistance (and transportation) with the family’s applications for services and benefits and will help Aziz find a job. A list of household needs will be forthcoming.

Monetary donations are also appreciated. Click here to donate online through Realm, or write a check to Grace Church with RWG in the memo line. Contact: Email Kathy Deasy or call (928) 606-3410.

Earth & Spirit will host our annual “Dawn Chorus” birdwatching at Grace, with veteran birder Demi Allen.

We will meet in the Grace parking lot, then quietly walk the Grace trails and listen for our feathered friends. All ages are welcome.

The most exuberant singing is often heard in spring when birds identify territories and mates. Come help us add some new species to the Grace bird list.

Demi will bring a spotting scope. Bring binoculars and a bird guide if you have them.

Beulah Downing encourages us to use Cornell’s Merlin bird ID app to identify birds we see or hear. Using it, she was able to identify the songs of a Spotted Towhee, Northern Flicker, Pine Siskin, Junco, Robin, and a Crow in the distance. “It was the loud call of the Flicker that got my attention, and then I began to hear more and more. A wonderful morning chorus!”

We live in fraught times when violence seems to be the common denominator in a calculus based in mistrust and misanthropic othering. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind… Drawing on inspiration from his work with language and religion, conflict and peacemaking, this truth-teller of our time will draw us into an orbit of soulful wisdom and poetic grace.

Fee: $15 (for in-person and livestream participation). Visit Pádraig Ó Tuama’s website, and click below for more information about the event.
