"Alike In Love" is a moderated conversation environment where the Grace family can share freely about current events in a spirit of Christ-like love and respect.

Our targeted age group has been set for those ’40’s and up. However, we will welcome others too if we have what their hearts are in search of. Meetings will be held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, starting in April. Weather permitting, our first few meetings will be held at Grace Church outdoors.
