Join Historic Grace Episcopal Church for a memorial service honoring those who died while serving in the armed forces.

Historic Grace Episcopal Church (ca. 1697) is holding a Memorial Day prayer service to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. After the service, a brief ceremony will be held in the cemetery with playing of “Taps.” All attendees will participate in a hand salute (as appropriate for active duty military/veterans) or with reverence, to the 107 known veterans buried in the Grace Episcopal Church Cemetery, and all deceased men and women who have served our country in uniform. The historic Church Bell (ca 1725) will be tolled 21 times. Following the ceremony, families, friends and visitors may visit the graves.
