PARISH PROFILE
Welcome is defined by webster as: “to receive or accept with happiness or pleasure”. St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church is a welcoming, caring and spirit filled traditional church. We are a small, committed church community in muskegon michigan blessed with changing seasons along the lake shore.
We have a strong history of mission services, community inclusion, youth programs, fellowship, choir involvement, music program, bible study, sunday school programs and parish ministries. Our congregation is small but mighty in its attempts to keep our parish growing, loving and focused on the spiritual call to serve.
Parish Goals (not prioritized)
1. Christian Assistance with End of Life issues.
Possible activities and programs: Planning a Christian Funeral, memorial courtyard services, visiting nursing homes & shut-ins, Eucharistic visits, grief counseling and assistance to survivors
2. Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Passion Narrative.
The Passion Narrative project has been a valued service to other congregations and should be continued. The Narrative will be edited to provide many roles for congregational participation.
3. Host an Afterschool Coffee House for High School Students.
This would serve community youth, reaching out to Mona Shores students and others. Possible activities: Offer a gathering place with snacks, chips, video and a comfortable lounge. Students themselves could help plan and run this. There could be occasional coffee house-style performances with student poets and musicians. The Coffee House could be daily, weekly or monthly as appropriate.
