GRACE NOTES

This is the Grace that our family has traditionally said 
at Holiday dinners, with each person at the table reading a line.



Another Grace Note 

For Food that stays our Hunger,
For Rest that brings us Ease,
For Homes where Memories linger,
We give our Thanks for these.
Amen.




JOSHUA'S GRACE

Thank you God for our food and our family, 
Amen.

Sacred Time 


We began going to Grace Church in Framingham when the boys were little. However, when Josh reached his teens, he told us that he "didn't want to go to church anymore". I gave Josh and Matt the option of either going to a variety of religious places on Holy Days or to celebrate them ourselves at home. They chose the latter.

Thus Sacred Time was born.. A time when we had Bible readings reflecting the Holy Season and discussions about sacred or ethical concerns, as well as Communion, meditation, and music. Sacred Time was our celebration of Christmas and Easter until Josh and Matt left home.
