Historical June 1988 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
When many city churches are forced by reduced congregations to cut back the number of Sunday morning worship services, it is indeed good news to learn that Grace United Methodist Church is adding a second service. Beginning on Sunday, June 5, 1988, there will be a worship service at 8:30 a.m. Church school will be at 9:30 with the regular worship service at 11 a.m.
The early 8:30 service will offer worshippers a more informal atmosphere.
It will be held in the Chapel and, as it grows, will be moved into the Sanctuary.
The early service will have a “come-as-you-are feeling, i.e. blue jeans, etc.” It will have some contemporary music and some old gospel favorites.
According to the Grace Reporter, the message will be biblically rooted and will deal with some current issue that people are facing. Grace Methodist Church is located at Waterman and Skinker Boulevards in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood.
For information about this new service and other services and programs of the church, call 863-1992.
