Hungry and Homeless in Bergen County

Two ministries that Grace Church participates in were featured in the news recently: the Walk-In Dinner program and the Christ Church Community Development Corporation's Homeless Shelter and Next Step programs. The occasion of the reporting was the fourth annual Project Homeless Connect, which involves taking a census of the county's homeless. The Record's article can viewed by clicking here, and the broadcast report from NJ1 can be viewed by clicking here.

About the Season after the Epiphany

The season after the Epiphany (the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, on January 6) is a season of wonders and water and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove and a voice from heaven saying about Jesus,"This is my beloved Son," and of water turned into wine, and the urgency of ministry and mission and Transfiguration. This season is also called the "Ordinary Time" of the Church and it bridges the time between the Christmas/ Epiphany cycle and Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday (this year, February 17).
