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

Grace Kids Playgroup
The Grace Kid's Playgroup is open to all kid's from infancy through school age children.  Whether you are a stay at home mom, watch your grandchildren or are taking a vacation day, we encourage you to stop by for some fun play time!  No registration is required, just join us whenever you can!  We meet the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 9am-10am in the church nursery.  

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.

Retired Not Tired (RNT)
This is a social small group ministry for retired couples. Our goal is to have fun with other Christian couples and to get to know one another better. Both partners need not be retired or current members of Grace.

  • The American Club tour
  • A progressive dinner
  • Dinner theater
  • Music in the Park (Cedarburg)
  • Pot luck meal and decorate the church for Christmas

Being retired, your calendars are probably quite full. But please do give RNT a try. We look forward to seeing you and/or hearing your comments.

Events are posted in the Grace Notes and in the church bulletin

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).
