“The Edge of Grace,” a new worship service featuring live praise music was launched May 2 at Grace United Methodist Church, located at the corner of Skinker and Waterman.
The added service will be at 9:30 a.m., offering churchgoers an alternative to the church’s long-standing and well-attended traditional services held at 8:30 and 11 a.m. “This is an exciting time for Grace,” says Senior Pastor Mary Harvey. “This worship experience, ‘The Edge of Grace,’ allows us as a congregation to reach out to a new and larger group of people who are more comfortable with music that is contemporary, multicultural and truly on ‘the edge.’ Our congregation has been very supportive of this project and we’re looking forward to bringing even more people into the life of our growing church and our ministries.” With leadership of Rev. Mary Harvey, associate pastor Mark Harvey, as well as Grace member and musician Dave Thomas, “The Edge of Grace” will incorporate audiovisual technology as well as an eclectic selection of live music. Alterations to the church’s fellowship hall have been made to accommodate the service.
An opportunity for fellowship with coffee and doughnuts in the church’s new “Holy Grounds Café” follows. Childcare is available. For more information about “The Edge of Grace,” please contact the church office at 314-863-1992 or visit the website at www.graceUMC-STL.org.
