Upcoming Events at Grace Presbyterian Church

September 29:  Christian Education – Mental Health Awareness
The Mental Health Taskforce will be kicking off “Mental Health Awareness Week” with a discussion in the chapel following the 10:00 am worship service, about “The Great Re-Wiring: How Smart Phones Have Affected Our Mental Health.”  Using excerpts from the video, “The Social Dilemma” and the book, “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt, Lisa Curran will lead us through an introspection of the connection between social media and our mental health.  Please join us for this stimulating conversation!

October 2: Bible Study Groups and Schedule – Join Pastor Brian on Wednesdays for Bible study.   We will read and examine the lectionary texts for the Sunday service ahead. Come either for lunch (bring your own) from 12:00-1:00 pm in the Palmer Room; or from 7:00-8:00 pm in the Sanctuary. 

October 13:  New Member Class  – Join Pastor Brian for a conversation about membership and what that might look like at Grace Presbyterian Church.  Learn about next steps in your faith journey, and how Grace can help be a part of your entry into congregational life.

G2G Capital Campaign & Construction Project Update

Our church’s $3.1 million renovation project, which is creating accessible, safe and attractive spaces for our next generation and will enhance our role in the local community, is on track, on budget and on schedule!

Construction Highlights

Phase One got underway on June 10 with extensive demolition in the downstairs rooms.  The work over the summer has included a top-to-bottom redo and resizing of the Palmer Room kitchen, a major electrical upgrade, installation of big pieces of a new HVAC system that includes new pipes and heating/cooling equipment in each of the lower-level rooms and the second-level nursery school rooms.

Delran Builders and the church’s construction team have been working together to maintain the work schedule, iron out issues and look ahead to next steps.  

We expect to finish Phase One by mid-October.  This phase encompasses all the rooms on the ground floor of the building except for Muyskens Hall and the adjacent kitchen. Those two large spaces are the focus of Phase Two. We are expecting to finish modernizing those spaces and complete the entire project by December 31.

Project Funding

We are grateful to those who have donated to this ambitious campaign.  Please know that it is not too late to support this project. Unforeseen expenses do arise as we open walls and ceilings in this elegant, old building, and each dollar counts.

A matching grant was awarded to the church in October 2022.  While we await the funds from this $1.54 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant, our grant and campaign teams have been working on the necessary paperwork requirements.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the church office.
