Grace-full Moments

These moments during this Annual Event are designed to help you experience Rhythms of Grace…

  • Visit the Marketplace, not only to meet our 50+ vendors, but to relax and connect with colleagues. This year’s Marketplace space is open and light-filled, with comfy seating and space to visit.
  • You won’t want to miss the special visitors in the Marketplace. During some Marketplace hours, you can visit with therapy dogs.
  • Both the Spirituality Center in the BJCC (Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex) and the Spiritualtiy Center online will provide experiences designed to encourage your faith.
  • During this Annual Event, with the guidance of Faith and Grief, we will create a Memorial Arch. The Arch offers you a place to remember your loved ones who have died by writing each of their names on a ribbon and tying those ribbons to the Arch as a symbol of remembrance.
  • Participate in a Service of Remembrance on Friday morning at 8:30am as we remember those we love who have died, including those names that have been added to the Memorial Arch.
  • Friday morning, Worship will not begin until 9:30am. Enjoy a slower-paced morning or join us for the Service of Remembrance.
