Urgent notice for members, former members, and friends of Grace Church: Town Hall with the bishop Sunday



Grace Church has served Plainfield since 1852;
the historic 1892 building is its second home.


The magnificent Christ in Glory window
is above the 7th Street entrance.


Members, former members, and friends of Grace Episcopal Church are urgently invited to attend this Sunday (October 27), when Bishop William (Chip) Stokes will celebrate and preach at Grace Church.

Along with two diocesan assistants he will conduct a "Town Hall" meeting immediately following the service to explain next steps.

As many in the community are aware, Grace Church has suffered a great deal of turmoil and hurt in regard to its last two priests.

Most recently, many parishioners are upset over the way that Mother Joyce Scheyer was abruptly removed in early September.

The turmoil has left the congregation numb. The local leadership has advanced no plan for dealing with either the opportunities that Plainfield presents or the challenges -- especially financial -- that the the parish faces.

Something must be done.

Bishop Stokes will give all who attend an opportunity to discuss their questions and concerns about next steps for Grace Church, which has served the Plainfield community since 1852, long before its incorporation as a city.

The service begins at 9:30 AM and is usually over about 10:45 AM.

Grace Church is at East 7th Street and Cleveland Avenue and is an accessible facility. Parking available on the street or in the public lot across 7th Street from the church.
