Jubilation Choir

It is said, ‘he who sings, prays twice’. This fits the mission of Grace’s Jubilation Choir. We sing a wide variety of music from traditional to contemporary, gospels and spirituals, all based on scripture and the Gospel message. We have presented several cantatas at Christmas time. We welcome both beginners and seasoned singers. You will find a warm fellowship in the choir, all sharing a common bond – joining our voices to sing praise to the Lord. 

Rehearsals are Thursday evenings from 7:30-8:30 p.m. We sing the 2nd and 4th Sundays at the 8:00 am service. No try-outs or age limits! Come join us! We sing September through May, or you might wish to join us on a seasonal basis if that fits your schedule.

Contact Eryn Durlam, our director, for more information (1-319-321-2217).

Special Interest Groups

Men’s Softball

The Grace Men's softball team is open to men 15 and older, who are attendees of the church. The games are played on Monday evenings from May to August as part of the Ozaukee Christian Softball League.  It is a great time of fellowship, meeting new people, and of course playing ball! We are always looking for more players, even if you can't attend every week. If you'd like to join or have any questions, please contact John Bernd.

Fellowship Committee

Mission Statement: The Fellowship Committee seeks to promote and celebrate friendly and meaningful experiences and relationships through planned social events that encourage a sense of community within our church.

About Us: The Fellowship Committee plans and organizes a variety of social events for all ages of our congregation throughout the year. These events help our members to get to know each other better, feel more connected to our church community and to have fun. 
 
Social Events: We plan and coordinate a social event several times a year. Most events are held on-site at church and are free. 

To Join: We are currently looking for volunteers to join and take part in sharing your ideas and helping plan and coordinate events. However, if you are unable to commit as a member, the committee can always use your help, especially with set-up, serving food and clean-up during events. If you are interested, please contact Laurie Gosselin (262-365-9355).
