It is the season of Epiphany!
The revelation and realization season of Epiphany is energizing us through these shorter, darker days, through the thoughtful season of Lent, and eventually into the longer, lighter days of spring and the joyful season of Easter!
Throughout this season of Epiphany and into Lent our Grace Church family will have services, events, activities, learning, fellowship, growth in the Lord, and
fun on our calendar!
Our Grace Church family is growing, and we want you to know that
you are WANTED as part of it and
to grow along with us!

Film Screening: “To Be of Service”
Hosted by Alpha Bravo Canine
Come join us for a very educational and eye opening night! The film will be shown at Grace Episcopal Church in Merchantville, NJ. We will be showing the full length documentary film To Be Of Service. This film shows the unseen disability of PTSD, how it is affecting our veteran’s lives and how lives are being changed every single day through the assistance of a service dog. After the film there will be a Q & A with the Founder of Alpha Bravo Canine™️ along with veterans who have a service dog and how their lives has changed and puppy raisers with their service dogs in training. Alpha Bravo Canine™️ is a 501(c)3 organization that’s raises, trains and donates service dogs to disabled veterans. The costs associated with this is approximately $25-$30k per dog over the two years that the dog is in our care.
This is a FREE event but a donation is requested.
