Summer Music at Grace presents community concerts, inviting musicians from around Vermont, New England, and beyond to perform in Grace's inspiring, acoustically glorious setting. A typical season features five concerts covering a range of musical genres, two of which feature youth. Grace Church is also home to a beautifully restored nine-rank Erben pipe organ, one of the oldest of its kind still in use. Grace has been the setting of concerts by the Organ Historical Society.

Green Burial

As part of its commitment to Earth Stewardship, Grace Church makes its cemetery available for green burial. Green burial involves the interment of the body in a natural state without embalming and with only natural, decomposable materials (shroud or clothing and casket of natural fibers). Grace Church can provide guidance on green burial for those seeking assistance
