My name is Jan Rudes. I am the Chair of the Worship Commission at Grace. Our worship ministries support the Rector in the planning and execution of all phases of worship by coordinating the activities of the Altar Guild, Acolytes, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, Lay Readers, Lectors, Ushers, Choirs, Audio and Visual support, and the Director of Music. My commission also oversees worship services on Sundays, special church feast days, youth band, and audio-visual equipment. Our purpose is to enable all who participate in services at Grace Church to worship authentically in ways that move their entire being to connect with God.
You are invited and encouraged to get in touch with me at 4cougar4@tampabay.rr.com to offer your suggestions and ideas, and, most importantly, to volunteer your time at Grace Church.

The education ministry organizes and supports our learning of the Christian faith and our continual growth into Christian discipleship for all ages. We do this through Bible studies and classes of special interest such as the Alpha course, Purpose Driven Life, First Communion and Confirmation classes, and weekend conferences that address other Christian topics. This is how we fulfill the second part of the Great Commission of Matthew 18:19-20: “... teaching them all that I have commanded you ....”

My name is Maryanne Pothier. I am the Chair of the Pastoral Care Commission at Grace. Our ministry includes the Shepherds of Grace, which is a lay ministry of companionship, caring, compassion and support for members of Grace. The Lay Eucharistic Visitors are also part of the Pastoral Care Commission, and these visitors bring the Eucharist to individuals who are ill or homebound. Groups and activities that build fellowship, such as the Book Club and Ladies of Grace, are also part of this commission.
