Friday, March 27, 2020 is the 169th anniversary of the founding of Grace Episcopal Church, which was the fourth parish established by the Diocese of Central New York. At the time of its founding, Grace Church occupied a small frame building at the corner of University Avenue and Madison Street. The cornerstone of the present building was laid on June 16, 1876.
2021 is a big year for Grace–its 150th anniversary! Watch for celebrations and reflections throughout the year.

Grace Church is open for …   12-Step and other support groups can continue to meet. Please practice all recommended public health practices, and know that we cannot clean all doorknobs, surfaces or switch plates in between each group.   The Food Pantry WILL provide pre-packed bags of food for people to take home on March 19 at its regular hours, 9:00-11:30, and plans are being made for the following weeks. We will keep you posted about how to find emergency supplies of food. This is in the tradition of Blessed David Pendleton Oakerhater, who served his congregation in Oklahoma in times of struggle and hardship. He is remembered as a warrior and a chief, because he always fed his people, and he always put himself last. May we honor his memory by keeping that spirit alive.
