Grace Lenten Program - 3/29

This year’s Grace Lenten Program will focus on fellowship, meditation, prayer, and the life of Jesus.  The three Wednesday evening sessions will be held on March 1st, March 15th and March 29th beginning at 6:30pm with a light supper of bread and soup in the Grace Undercroft Coffee House.  The sessions will provide an opportunity for prayer and reflection in the context of the life of Jesus leading to the events of Holy Week.  Parishioners interested in attending should call the Church office at 516 798-1122 extension 12 to reserve a seat.

Lenten Forty Day Food Drive - Feb. 22nd - April 8th - Dear Parish and Day School Families: “Let us not grow tired of Doing Good” During Lent, as we prepare for Easter, we are encouraged to pray, to fast or sacrifice  and maybe even more so to take on a service or charitable project.  In that vein, please find attached a Lenten 40-Day Walking Path to help continue feeding the hungry on Long Island. At our 2022  Advent Food Drive we collected 2004 pounds of food and toiletries which equates to 1670 meals for those with food insecurity.   The food that we donated to Island Harvest was distributed to food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and shelters across the Island.

Welcome

God calls us, Grace Episcopal Church, Massapequa, to be a welcoming home for Christian families, individuals, and youth who seek spiritual enrichment and comfort.r

We are an intergenerational Episcopal parish -- a congregation that lives its mission through service to those among us, and others, who are in need.  We are a fellowship of Christian people committed to worshiping God and serving Him in the Church and the world. As a parish family, we find joyful unity in the grace of God the Father, the love of Jesus Christ, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.  

All are welcome to worship with us, and all who have been baptized in the name of The Trinity are welcome to share in the Eucharist.
