The image of the crown of thorns in our symbol signifies how far God was willing to extend his grace to us. Christ suffered and died, and bore the crown of shame in order to give us the crown of righteousness.

The Triune God, traditionally visualized with a triangle has revealed the plan of salvation to human kind. Christ arose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and sent us his Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has been given the biblical image of a dove. The Holy Spirit reminds us of the deed of Christ, who came as a light into the darkness.

Lenten Devotional 2023: Were You There?

by | Feb 9, 2023 | Family Practices, Lent, Life Together

For Lent this year, Grace is offering a Lenten devotional book and discussion group on African-American Spirituals, titled Were You There.  According to the publisher’s description: “Valuable not only for their sublime musical expression, the African-American spirituals provide profound insights into the human condition and Christian life. Many spirituals focus on the climax of the Christian drama, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the ways in which those events bring about the liberation of God’s people. “In these devotions for the season of Lent, Luke A. Powery leads the reader through the spirituals as they confront the mystery of Christ’s atoning death and victory over the grave. Each selection includes the lyrics of the spiritual, a reflection by the author on the spiritual’s meaning, a Scripture verse related to that meaning, and a brief prayer.” Pastor Kelsi will be preaching on some of these same texts through Lent. A discussion group will meet weekly during Lent, likely Sunday mornings at 10am. We’ll take turns leading each other in a review and discussion of each chapter over the coming months.  Books are available in the office. RSVP to POCL@gracegr.org if you are interested in the...

Lent begins on Wednesday, March 2 and ends on Easter, April 17. Lent is the time we get ready to celebrate the mystery of Easter—Jesus shows us the way to get ready.
