Hybrid Services 
At this time, the vestry has discerned that it is relatively safe to gather back together for in-person gatherings. We will continue to offer all services online for those who are unable to attend in person for any reason. We offer services on ZOOM and Facebook. Please contact the office for more information. office@graceelmira.org

Facemasks, social distancing, hand sanitizing are just a few of the many steps we are taking to keep people as safe as possible. Service times will also be shortened for the time being.

We continue to keep an eye on local numbers, if they again increase, we may have to go back to online-only services for a while. The best way to stay informed is to follow us on Facebook or email and ask to be added to our eNewsletter.

Community Mini-Food Pantry
Leave what you can.
Take what you need. 
​
We have been gifted with Trinity's beautiful food pantry boxes. They are on the corner of Davis and Church. One is for books and the other for food. Please feel free to add what you can or take what you need. Our only request is to not add any canned goods during winter as freezing weather can cause the cans to burst and spoil the food.
