Every Sunday morning we work hard to create a holy worship service in the auditorium of our community center – and, with help from God, we succeed! We use the Book of Common Prayer and other liturgical resources to draw us together in word, song and the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist through which we hope to receive and offer the living truth of Christ within, among and around us all. We love our Episcopal liturgy. We delight in our gifted choir, and we give thanks for our vibrant, kid centered Sunday school every week at 10:00. We are blessed with an involved parishioner base who work and pray together each week to welcome everyone who walks through our doors.
We have learned together that this is what we really need for our worship to come alive: deep prayer, beautiful music, Holy Communion, and also the essential truths that every one of us is loved unconditionally by God and that our one, true mandate is to go forth and love one another. Like the limbs of the Tree of Life that became our logo, we seek to spread the Good News of the Gospel through our commitment to communal worship, prayer, partnership with others, justice work, community service and love.
Berkshire South is at 15 Crissey Road, Great Barrington

Every Wednesday, a group of people gather in our chapel and on Zoom for a Contemplative Holy Eucharist. Here silence is honored as much as speech and time is taken to breathe, and to share reflections on holy scripture. This service is informal, intimate and deeply prayerful.
The Grace Chapel is at 67 State Rd, Great Barrington
Thursday Centering Prayer
5:00 pm at the Grace Church Chapel
Click here to join virtually.
Grace Church hosts a weekly prayer group for those who wish to practice Centering Prayer, a contemplative practice developed by Father Thomas Keating. Everyone is welcome, whether you are a beginner or have been doing Centering Prayer for years, a member of Grace Church, or a friend and fellow seeker.
The group’s practice of Centering Prayer is simple: a 20-minute sit in silence during which we settle the body, observe, and let go of all thoughts or emotions that arise. When a thought carries us off, we return to the quiet center with a sacred word of our own choosing. Returning again and again to our center, we rest in the spaciousness of silence. It is like listening in the desert, where the night air and the sounds of life are so clear and undisturbed that it becomes the very gift you have been looking for all along.
The 20-minute sit is followed by a reading for reflection, an opportunity to share our thoughts, and a second, shorter sit in silence.
The Grace Chapel is at 67 State Road, Great Barrington.
