Grace Lutheran Royersford

Grace offers a variety of faith formation opportunities for all ages! Check out our Sunday School (which we call GRACE Place!), Vacation Bible School, adult faith formation, and other small groups!

 

Come and learn about the Old Testament and what it means to us today. All are welcome to Thursday morning bible study. We meet in the parlor (room 5) in the lower level of the church.

 

Anyone who is interested in creating crafts to lift the spirits of our homebound members and friends of the church are welcome to join us on Wednesday mornings, from 10-11:30am, in our All Purpose Room – we receive great joy through our ministry of compassion and prayer for others!

 

Grace is blessed with two music ministries! Our 8:00 service offers a traditional program with hymns sung by our chancel choir, which is open to all adults and high school students wishing to make a joyful noise to the Lord! Our 10:45 service offers a contemporary program led by our praise band, Spirit of Grace!

 

Several members of Grace’s congregation have been trained and preach one sermon annually.

 

Grace participates in Royersford Community Day each fall and invites our neighbors to work on a service project with us! For instance, we’ve packed and donated more than 150 blessings bags for those in need in our community.

Each summer, our high school youth group participates in a service trip. Past trips have included providing hurricane relief and Hurricane Katrina relief through Habitat for Humanity, 2018 was the year for the Lutheran Youth Gathering!! Eight of our high schoolers headed to Houston from June 26th–July 1st to serve Christ and learn about all that the ELCA does to spread God’s love and word!

 

Each summer Grace families spend a long weekend serving others to share God’s love. In recent summers we’ve supported urban ministries in Philadelphia by cleaning, painting, organizing, and feeding. We also help local churches minister to people in need.

 

Grace’s therapy dogs visit schools, hospitals, and nursing homes to provide comfort, companionship, and sloppy kisses!

 

The garden has been decommissioned in 2024, after 11 seasons of serving the community.  It started as a response to local healthy food insecurity, the Senior High Sunday school class initiated the garden project in 2012. Aided by our Boy Scouts, the raised-bed garden was constructed by congregational members. Providing an avenue for service, social ministry, and fellowship, the garden has given our members both young and old the opportunity to show Christ’s love to the community. To date, more than 800 pounds of tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers, zucchini, and strawberries have been donated to the local pantry at Open Door

in Royersford!

Grace offers religious-based books and prayers in our lending library outside the front doors! Available to anyone in need of comfort and care, to those exploring Christianity, books for all ages, Take a book, read it, return it, rinse & repeat!

 

Volunteers from Grace help to package and distribute food to those in need through Project Outreach in Royersford.

 

Each spring and fall Grace provides a week’s worth of home-cooked dinners for the families at the St. Mary’s Franciscan Shelter in Phoenixville.

 

Grace hosts the Miller Keystone Blood Drive mobile unit on a regular basis outside our Welcome Center on 6th Avenue.

 

With seed money from Thrivent Financial, Grace members have worked to help make a positive change in our community. Previous projects have included filling blessing bags with essentials for police officers to give to those in need (for Community Day) and decorating reusable shopping bags for local food pantry patrons (thank you, Caring Crafters!).
