One of the best invitations I have ever heard is simply, "Come and See." It is one of my favorite invitations in the Bible. So I extend an invitation for you to "Come and See" what God is doing at Grace Presbyterian Church.
Grace Presbyterian Church is a warm and welcoming congregation that is open to all those who are seeking a life of faith. Wherever you are on your journey, come as you are to Grace Presbyterian Church. Come and See!

The Board of Deacons asked Beryl Lawn who started our Grace Presbyterian Friends as Family meals to write further about this ministry which has become one the Deacon’s responsibilities. We hope this information helps paint the picture of what the Deacons do at Grace Presbyterian Church.
Beryl Lawn writes...
Before I moved to Temple in 1994, my husband and I lived in Philadelphia. Not having children, we always wished for a larger family to share holiday meals with, and began hosting holidays at our home. We provided the main course and drinks, and others brought food to share. Singles, couples and (surprisingly to me) even whole families from our church began attending -- we had created the large family we craved! In 2003, Naomi Ingrim (Associate Pastor), and I began something similar at Grace we called, Friends As Family. The results were the same -- even large families attended, and Grace has had a holiday meal every Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day since. (We felt it was important to have it on the actual day of the holiday). In 2007, the deacons took over Friends as Family as one of their outreaches, and have made it into a popular church tradition. Thank you, Deacons! If you have never been to this, check it out this year!
All are welcome to gather in the Fellowship Hall at noon on November 28 (Thanksgiving Day). To get a better count, please email the church office, or sign up in the narthex with the type of dish you will be bringing and the number in your party that will be attending. Deacons will provide the turkey, stuffing and gravy.
