Thanks for checking us out! Grace is a community of faith that’s been in the neighborhood for almost 100 years – ever-changing, yet firmly grounded in Lutheran teachings and traditions. And at the heart of Lutheran teaching is: grace. Grace means we are embraced by God, no matter who we are or where we are coming from. We live in and of this grace – and celebrate it in our worship and community life.
As so many communities and faith and other organizations, we are currently regrouping as we are emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve learned a lot during those past two years – especially how important human connection is, and that it should never be taken for granted. We value connection – and continue to explore how we best stay connected (and re-connect) with each other and the community we live in. Yes, we are meeting in person again (in accordance with current guidelines of the CDC and the New York City Health Department) – but we also understand that some folks want to play it safe and rather avoid in-person events. Our Sunday services (which we celebrate in our sanctuary) are available on Zoom. If you need to talk to the pastor, let me know – and we can meet somewhere, or use technology to connect.
We are people of faith who don’t pretend to have all the answers. We rather see ourselves as a safe place where people can come with their questions and concerns – and find an open ear and open hearts. We hope you drop by at some point!
If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. You can reach me at pastorgracefh@gmail.com.
God’s peace be with you, today and always!
The Rev. Kerstin Weidmann
Interim Pastor
