"If we stay where we are, where we're stuck, where we're comfortable and safe, we die there. We become like mushrooms, living in the dark, with poop up to our chins. If you want to know only what you already know, you're dying. You're saying: Leave me alone; I don't mind this little rathole. It's warm and dry. Really, it's fine.
When nothing new can get in, that's death. When oxygen can't find a way in, you die. But new is scary, and new can be disappointing, and confusing - we had this all figured out, and now we don't. New is life."

worship services provides an opportunity for those attending either of the services to gather for programs and conversation. The Adult Education and Spiritual Formation Commission works to provide a balance by scheduling several forums/discussions each month, as well as providing opportunities to socialize. We hope you will join us! Small table discussion of the Bible passages takes place in the Fenton Room.

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!
