This traditional Candlelight service will bring you the prophecy of old, the birth of Jesus, and the joy of the people who met baby Jesus. The service will be filled with Christmas Carols by Choir of Grace, solo and duet singers, and You! Please come and join us and let US celebrate the reason for this season!

On April 19, 2019, Grace UMC had its Good Friday Service where the worshippers read and remembered the seven last words Jesus said on the cross. The choir’s anthem, “Once Upon A Tree” along with other hymns sung during the service, reminded us of what kind of love God has shown us by giving His one and only son to us. Pastor Park’s ending note, a short message, is entitled, “Here Is Your King,” and based on John 19:14-22.
“Can a small and aging congregation reach out to locals?”
“Can a church in which many of its members have mobility issues serve its community?”
“Can a church with limited resources present new ways of looking at reality to those who are struggling?”
Since his appointment last June, these questions kept arising for Peter Hyun Ho Park, pastor of San Ramon’s Grace United Methodist Church. He wanted his new church to reach out and serve the community in the San Ramon area, so in order to practice that, Pastor Park led his members outside to the pumpkin patch and held an outdoor concert there. One Sunday afternoon, he provided free hot chocolate to anyone who visited the pumpkin patch – at that time located in the church’s front yard. None of these efforts brought favorable outcomes. Instead, he found that his members were having difficulty just moving. Only the pastor’s two-year-old son was moving constantly on those occasions!
Then a paradigm shift happened.
Grace UMC invites you to our first Grace Talks, a public lecture series, which will take place on the first Tuesday of April. Claire Chow, a marriage and family therapist, will give a talk on how to deal with grief and ultimately find healing. We will provide supper at 6:30 pm so that families, friends, and those who work may come, eat, and enjoy the talk. The talk will begin at 7 pm and ends at 8 pm after a Q & A session in between.
Read More“The story we heard tonight is a love story, the greatest love story of all. It shows us how far God is willing to go to show His love for us, as the 5th and last advent reading says, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” Christ’s birth shows how much God can humble Himself and become like us for the sake of love.”
- Ending Note: Pastor Peter Park
We are grateful for all the families, friends, and neighbors who came out and shared their food, time, and stories at our annual Christmas dinner. Please watch a video below, as we remember and celebrate the reason for the season.

Our interactive/responsive service will bring you back to Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, Mary’s song, Shepherds’ meeting with the newborn baby Jesus, and the Magi’s visit of the long-awaited Messiah. The service will end with the singing of “Silent Night.”

Read MoreA slow and quiet beginning became a really busy and noisy event, as the 2018 Fall Boutique kicked off on Friday evening, Nov. 2nd. People from the community—regulars and newcomers—were delighted to see the handmade quilts, baskets, jewelry, and other items of interest. On the Boutique’s second day, Saturday, Nov. 3rd, Grace UMC housed this wonderous display of gifts. The room was full of people who constantly said, “Ooh” and “Aah”, as they were amazed at the uniquely handmade quilts and the variety of handiwork. Some visitors said they felt blessed to purchase and contribute to the missions of our church.
We gratefully acknowledge Kathy Perisho, a founder of Creations of Grace, and her sister, Marilyn Hungerford, for designing, creating, and donating some of the quilts for this event. We also appreciate Karen Gallaway, Creation’s director, and the assistance of Bonnie Linton, as well as members of Grace UMC, their families and friends whose efforts made the 2018 Fall Boutique possible and truly memorable.
