News to ShareAll Parish Meeting!
Saturday, May 18 We invite all to come to an all-parish meeting to work on a three-year plan
for Grace Church! 9 am to 1 pm (coffee and lunch provided) Why Are We Singing This?
Grace Church presents a workshop of church music selection for Pentecost and Ordinary Time... 
Join us to work through the process of choosing music for summer services. The workshop will consider the Eucharistic Lectionary, the Prayer Book, the Hymnals, LEVAS, Wonder Love and Praise and what hymns and music will best support the liturgy on a given Sunday.
The hymns and service music selected at the workshop will be the music we sing this summer – all are invited to explore more of the world of church music in the Episcopal Church. Meeting dates are May 23, May 30, and June 6 at 5:30pm. The sessions will be led by the Rev’d Stephen Harding, Rector, and Wes Nagy, Music Director. All are welcome to participate! Special Screening of Taking Root:
The Vision of Wangari Maathai Saturday, May 25 at 2:30PM 
The documentary, Taking Root, tells the remarkable story of the Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai whose simple act of planting trees bloomed into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights, and defend democracy.
After the screening, filmmakers Alan Dater and Lisa Merton will be interviewed by Reverend Margaret Bullitt-Jonas and Jana Bertkau, focusing on Maathai's "Green Belt Movement." Bullitt-Jonas - Episcopal priest, author, and climate activist - will share the faith community's response to the climate crisis. Edgartown Library co-sponsors this program with the Green Team of the First Congregational Church of West Tisbury, Grace Church, and the Polly Hill Arboretum. All are welcome. Burgess Book Group
Read the book and join the conversation on June 13 at 4:30 pm at Grace Church!
