A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS AT GRACE!

Today was truly a day of celebration, joy, and new beginnings at Grace Episcopal Church! 🙏🏾❤️

We joyfully welcomed Father Jey as he began leading Grace Church as our new minister. His first service was a beautiful and memorable moment for our church family as we gathered in worship, fellowship, and celebration.

✨ New leadership. New beginnings. New possibilities. ✨

We are excited about what God has in store for Grace Church and look forward to walking alongside Father Jey as we continue to grow, serve, and make a difference in our community.

Welcome to Grace, Father Jey! We are blessed to have you leading us into this new chapter. 🙏🏾❤️

Yesterday, the members of the Norfolk Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. joined in worship with Grace Episcopal Church as we celebrated the life and cherished memory of longtime member, Rosemary Fonville.

Rosemary was a faithful and devoted member of Grace Episcopal Church, serving lovingly in the choir, on the vestry, and through many other church ministries and organizations. Her dedication, service, and spirit touched countless lives within both the church and community.
We continue to give thanks for her life, legacy, and unwavering commitment to serving others.♥️♥️♥️
