Thorne Sparkman on Wednesday Nights
​
Every year, the Episcopal Churches of Chattanooga come together to host the Thorne Sparkman School of Religion  Thorne Sparkman offers a dynamic opportunity each Lent for Christians to gather in community each Wednesday evening with others from across our city for a rich time of learning, fellowship, worship, and faith exploration, with first-class scholars and teachers.

The school is held Wednesday nights at St. Paul's during Lent.  This year's offerings will focus around themes such as difference, reconciliation, and spiritual growth through the lenses of scripture, contemplative thought in light of current events.  This year we will also provide a children's and youth track for the first time - making this a wonderful offering for the whole family!  Learn more and register here.   ***Note:  Scholarships are available.  Contact Fr. Zack

Stories from Standing Rock
Join Grace newcomers Allison Kendrick and Meredith Garrett Sunday, March 5 at 9:30am in the Undercroft to hear about their experience joining the Standing Rock Water Protectors in North Dakota this past November and learn about how this kind of work might intersect with Christian spirituality and the life of faith. Meredith and Allison are both committed Episcopalians who together bring great gifts of writing and photography. An Advent reflection on their experience at Standing Rock was recently featured by the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.

Bridge Refugee Services 
On Sunday, April 2, Join Grace newcomer Valerie Brite to learn more about Bridge Refugee Services, Chattanooga's only refugee service - which happens to be an outpost of Episcopal Migration Services.  This will be a time of rich conversation and contemplation as we consider how Grace might become more involved in efforts to provide resources to the refugee community in our city.  You can learn more about Bridge Refugee Services here.

Do not be conformed
to the patterns of this world...

but be transformed by the
​renewing of your minds
