The Gift of God's Presence
" If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in."

NEW LOOKING FOR CHURCH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Grace Church School is possible thanks to our dedicated group of volunteer church school teachers. These teachers are parents, grandparents, or any other adult who enjoys working with kids. Each grade level is assigned three teachers to enable a rotation that requires teaching no more than every third week - it usually comes out to about once a month, in fact. Please contact Lainie Murrell at 825-6236 or gracekidsnyack@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about becoming a church school teacher. Thank you!
