Grace Episcopal Church

Grace Episcopal Church Join us in worship on Sunday mornings at 8am (Rite I) or 10 am (Rite II) Prayer helps us center our thoughts on God.

Our faith, worship and mission here at Grace Church are shaped by this congregation's long 150 year history on Wisconsin's capitol square and by our identity as a member parish of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Communion and the Body of Christ. We invite you to visit our thoughtful and reverent worship services, held on Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoons. Within our beautiful sanctuary, y

ou will find a Sabbath opportunity to slow down and reflect, ponder God's ways, and feel a connection with those who have gone before us. Whatever your background is, you are most welcome to grow with us in understanding, gratitude, peace, and service to the Madison community and beyond. What to Expect:

When you visit one of our Sunday services, you will experience the richness of [traditional] Anglican worship, which involves all the senses. The sacred architecture, the music of choir and organ, the sun streaming through stained glass windows, and the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer. The colorful and dramatic action of the service is designed to annually follow the life of Christ and to encourage those who seek Him. The Eucharist, (or Holy Communion) celebrated weekly, is open to all who are baptized in any Christian tradition. On any given Sunday, we are all at different stages in our spiritual journeys. Grace warmly welcomes people from all -- or no -- religious background. Casual attire is welcome and you can sit, stand, or kneel as you feel comfortable; participate in singing and responsive reading or simply listen. If you are free to stay for coffee hour after the service, you'll have a chance to meet our members of our congregation and clergy.
