EAST CONCORD NH
CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Community Life:
An umbrella group that includes support and information sharing. This includes: Take a Tote, coffee hour, Grace Needlers, St Nicholas Fair, Card Ministry, Book Club and associated community social events.
Take a Tote:
Grace Episcopal Church‘s “Take a Tote” outreach program was created in 2010 to address the issue of physical hunger at our city schools. From a beginning of seven totes filled with cereal, fruit cups, macaroni and cheese, pasta, tuna, crackers and snack bars, we now deliver fifty bags each week to Mill Brook School (K-2) in the Heights area of Concord.
Book Club:
We meet and discuss a book a month, taking off December and the summer months. The group is flexible and utilizes a small group format.
Grace Needlers:
We continue our prayer shawl ministry with shawls for parishioners and others. We also provide scarves for the Red Scarves for former foster kits and knit hats for individuals with cancer.
​
Card Ministry:
We send birthday and anniversary greetings to our parishioners. In addition, we send encouragements to those with illness and condolences to those suffering loss.
​
Christian Education - Sunday School:
Grace Sunday School is taught by volunteers and classes meet from 9:30-10:15 am, after which the children join their families for the Eucharist.
