Knitting Group and Hats Off!
One evening a week, a group gathers to knit (or crochet) hats for Salem children in need of warm clothing. We have donated hundreds of handmade hats to various groups serving children, including Salem Public School nurses, Centerboard, and the Boys & Girls Club. Come join us! We teach knitting. Or, come just for the fellowship!
Knitting Group will be meeting on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Abundant Life Garden
Abundant Life Garden:
The Abundant Life Garden Project® curriculum is an interactive, Scripture-based children’s faith formation program developed to share the work of Episcopal Relief & Development with elementary school-aged students, and to allow them to engage in this work themselves.
This program invites children to explore the agricultural mission of Episcopal Relief & Development through six thematic lessons: Water, Seeds, Soil, Animals, Harvest and Celebration. Not only do the children learn about other cultures and rural living often in poverty, they grow their own garden and give 100% of the harvest to the local homeless shelter. This partnership takes place from May through September.
Northshore Pride
Members of Grace Church are proud to march in the Northshore Pride Parade every year in Salem. For decades, LGBTQ+ Episcopalians and allies have worked to make The Episcopal Church a place of belonging and inclusion. In 2026, we mark the 50th anniversary of our affirmation that LGBTQ+ people have “a full and equal claim to the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the church.”
A worship service is also offered at Grace Church each year near the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
Anti-Racism
Those involved with the anti-racism work at Grace Church strive to offer opportunities for people to learn about the characteristics of White culture and its impact on all. Here are just some of the ways everyone can engage in this at Grace Church:
In the past, retreats have allowed participants to reflect on how one breathes love, wears love, and sheds those things that prevent love to bring about peace and justice.
Advent and Lenten Calendars are available for daily meditations on how to become an Anti-Racist.
