Welcome to the Summer 2023 Issue of Grace upon Grace. For this issue, we asked the Grace Church community to think about how we are living out our new mission statement: “Connecting with people through Christ to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of the community and the world around us.” Rather than compartmentalize the submissions, we present them to you here in one single collection. We hope what you read here will bless you as you realize the many ways Grace is carrying out its mission. Visit “About Grace upon Grace” below to learn about submitting for future issues.
