Worship | Grace Church Manchester Grace Church Manchester Infinite respect for one another... radical hospitality for the world Worship Worship is the center of all we do at Grace Episcopal Church. Through the services of Word and Sacrament, we encounter God in Christ. We are nourished by God's Word in the form of Holy Scripture and preaching, by God's love in the form of the bread and wine of Communion, and by the beauty of God's creation in the form of color, light, sound, space, and flowers. As a church in the liturgical tradition, Grace Church uses a lectionary ( a cycle of Scripture readings covering three years ). The colors of vestments and altar hangings, and some details about the services, change from season to season throughout the year, from Advent, Christmas and Epiphany through Lent and Easter to Pentecost. This rhythm of highs and lows helps remind us of the story of our faith and provides a structure for our worship throughout the year, as the colors, words, and music emphasize different themes.
