Grace Notes and Sunday Bulletins
Worship Services and Sunday School
The Rev. Emily Gibson, Interim Rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Wilmington, Delaware.
Children at Grace
The sounds, activities and presence of children during the services at Grace are expected and welcome.
For the youngest children, we have set aside safe "soft spaces" in the Church and Chapel where children can remain with parents and both can be comfortable during the service. You will find these areas in the back of the Church and Chapel and the rear pews are reserved for families with children.
Our nursery is available for children during the 10:30 service as well. Everyone who works with children at Grace Church has attended Safe Church training. We want our children and their families to be comfortable at Grace.
Preschool and school aged children attend classes during the first part of the worship service, joing their families at the Lord's table for eucharist.
We have many "intergenerational" events with activities for all ages. Be sure to check out our Services and Sunday School page for more children's activities.

Vacation Bible School 2009
Who's having the most fun?
How's this for a Pattern?
It is possible to get a youngster's attention.
Here's our seminarian/professor, Joann, leading our students.
Make a Joyful noise unto the Lord.
Do we really have to stay together?
God can be found in science.
"I really think this is interesting."
Worship the Lord in song.
How's this for enthusiasm?
Finding God can be fun.
I'm amazed.
