Grace Café was started in 2009 as part of an ecumenical effort to meet a growing need as families and individuals were faced with economic pressures and has proved to be a rewarding experience for guests and church members alike.  Host churches hope to welcome even larger numbers of guests for dinner and conversation over the next six months.
