About this event
In-person gatherings at Grace Church will follow CDC guidelines as well as required health and safety procedures outlined by the Diocese of Atlanta. Some of these guidelines are detailed below and will be sent in your confirmation email so you have a copy for your records.
Evening Prayer will be held in the parking lot at the corner of Boulevard and Brenau Avenue (or under the covered driveway along Boulevard in inclement weather) on Sunday evenings from 6:00 - 6:30 PM. If you would like to attend, please register/reserve a spot for each household member in attendance. Space is limited to 50 total (46 parishioners and 4 worship leaders) and registration is required for contact tracing purposes if necessary. Please note that registration closes two hours prior to Evening Prayer. Walk ins cannot be accommodated at this time.

- Has anyone in the household had close contact with someone with COVID-19 or who has been exposed to COVID-19?
