Expressing God's love through word and deed.
Saint Francis’ Episcopal Church Grayling, a parish of the Diocese of Eastern Michigan and The Episcopal Church of the United States of America, is a small, friendly community located in rural Northern Michigan that welcomes all persons.
Episcopalians have been worshipping in Grayling as a community since 1951, when services were held in homes. In 1956 St. Francis’ Episcopal Church was formally organized as a mission of the Diocese of Michigan. Church construction on the present site began in the late 1950’s, with the addition of a parish hall by 1980.
Our Sunday Morning Worship is broad in style, including a variety of music genres, open and welcoming to all! The service includes The Service of the Word and Holy Eucharist (communion) and is followed by coffee hour...and yes, we serve tea and cold drinks, also! A pot-luck brunch is served after worship on the third Sunday of the month.
Since we believe that God has given us our facilities to use in His name (and not just one day a week), we have opened our doors to community support groups, such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), and community service organizations, such as the Lion’s Club. Throughout the week, our parking lot is almost always full.
Through worship, fellowship, outreach and pastoral care, we try to live into our motto:
“EXPRESSING GOD’S LOVE THROUGH WORD AND DEED.”
