Lessons & Carols

​
Join us as we celebrate the season with our annual Lessons and Carols service. Dinner will be served in the Parish House before we gather in the church for the service at 7:00 PM. We hope you’ll join us for this cherished tradition and a joyful night of worship and fellowship together!
WELCOMING YOU HOME
We are a faith community committed to the service and worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. As a vibrant and multigenerational community, we join God in his redemptive mission in the world. That redemption starts with us; we acknowledge that we need God’s love, strength, and forgiveness as we become the people God calls us to be.
We are a safe place for questions about God, because we believe that faith is formed over time and in community. Whether your faith is steadfast or searching, Grace is a home where you can bring your whole self—your doubts, your joys, your struggles—and find that you are not alone.
We are a local expression in Ocala of the Christian faith, with roots dating back to biblical history and the ancient church. We are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, participating in the tradition, liturgy, history, and fellowship of other member churches all over the world.
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
In 1905, the entire original church building- with its Carpenter Gothic wood clapboard siding, spire, and arched windows and doors- was moved five blocks from its original location. Grace is more than an historic landmark in Ocala. It is a thriving community of eternal saints, joined across time and space like those old timbers.
SERVICES
Washed in the colors of a stained glass window, we raise our hands in worship. Sensing His love for us, our hearts practically burst in an intimate moment of gratitude. Our worship service is both ancient and modern: grounded in the words of scripture, patterned after the worship of the early church, and relevant for our lives today.
