PLEASE NOTE: On March 13, 2020, all in-person worship and meetings in all churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, including Grace, were suspended in an effort to control the spread of COVID-19.  As of October 28, 2020, mitigation measures were reinstated in Cook County (including Oak Park) to further control the spread.  In April 2021, we are moving to integrate our online and in person worship with capacity limits and safety measures in place.  Learn more here.
