PARISH PROFILE

Possible activities and programs: Planning a Christian Funeral, memorial courtyard services, visiting nursing homes & shut-ins, Eucharistic visits, grief counseling and assistance to survivors
2. Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Passion Narrative.
The Passion Narrative project has been a valued service to other congregations and should be continued. The Narrative will be edited to provide many roles for congregational participation.
3. Host an Afterschool Coffee House for High School Students.
This would serve community youth, reaching out to Mona Shores students and others. Possible activities: Offer a gathering place with snacks, chips, video and a comfortable lounge. Students themselves could help plan and run this. There could be occasional coffee house-style performances with student poets and musicians. The Coffee House could be daily, weekly or monthly as appropriate.

St. Gregory's Episcopal Church History
St. Gregory's Episcopal Church was originally organized as Ascension Chapel, a parochial chapel of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Muskegon. on April 3, 1955. The first Eucharist was held on Palm Sunday in the Walburn Funeral Home. The Rev. David Bryce, Curate of St. Paul's, officiated.
The parish moved to Maple Grove School, then located at the corner of Norton and Henry Streets, in September of 1955, and changed its name to St. Gregory's Mission in November.
St. Gregory's became a Diocesan Mission in January of 1956, and a Parish Church in January 1957. February saw the groundbreaking for the first unit of the new church. Bishop Dudley B. McNeil dedicated the building and furnishings in September of 1957. The groundbreaking for the church addition, which is the present sanctuary, was in February 1963 and dedicated on December 8, 1963. Another Curate of St. Paul's, Fr. Shelbert Harris, became St. Gregory's first Rector.
The latest addition, which greatly improves the usefulness of the entire building as well as making all the building handicapped accessible, was dedicated by Bishop Lee on February 22, 1999. A lovely Memorial Courtyard, begun in 1979 and one of the first in this area, continues to be available to members and friends of St. Gregory's.
During the last 50 years, St. Gregory's has been led by seven different Rectors.
