I highly recommend Grace Episcopal Church for anyone who is looking for their next church. When I was a first-time visitor, I was initially struck by both the friendly way in which the congregation welcomed all newcomers and Keith Belanger's uplifting music.
It was a happy discovery for me when I heard Pastor Kate Harmon Siberine give one of the most wonderful sermons I had ever heard. Later on, I learned that she is also excellent at creating thought-provoking and respectful group discussions about faith and spirituality in everyday life.
Finally, the church's response to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic was truly extraordinary. Pastor Kate and the congregation saw the community's need for spiritual support during this difficult time early on. They started conducting daily morning and evening prayers broadcast via Facebook and available anyone. Volunteers from the congregation each took turns leading these prayers, thereby providing continuity in the lives of many during a time of great change.
Even though I was a member of Grace a short time before relocating to another state, I've never forgotten the people and the example they set. Grace Episcopal East Concord is simply the best church. read more
