      <image:title>History - History of Grace Lutheran</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1949, a community of 18 people gathered together to build what would become Grace Lutheran Church in Northern Eastchester as an expression of their faith in God, in themselves and in their community and of hope in what God would build through them. It was that faith that would shape the course of the next few years as the community would gather to meet in fellowship and in study wherever God made room for them. It would be another 3 years before the first sanctuary on Alida Street would be completed and another 15 years before the sanctuary on Grand Boulevard was finished. In 1981, the people of Grace Lutheran answered God’s call yet again by founding a neighborhood preschool to foster the development of children of all faiths in a caring and nurturing environment. Creative Playtime continues to serve the needs of families for safe, affordable and engaging preschool education in the Eastchester and Scarsdale communities. The church building may have been finished in 1964 but its legacy is not in its stained glass windows, school classrooms or brick and stucco façade but in its people who after more than 75 years still come together as those 18 people did then to celebrate our faith, our families and our community. Please join us and see how you can help make Grace Lutheran Church’s next 75 years as memorable as its past 75 years. “We should call it ‘Grace Lutheran Church’ because by the grace of God, here we are.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kids &amp; Families - You have a place here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kids of all ages are welcome to participate in Sunday worship. At Grace, we welcome all kinds of families - and all the movement and sounds that come with them! We have a kids’ space right up front with a table, soft toys, books, and coloring supplies. We encourage kids to be curious about their faith, about what it is we do together on Sunday mornings, and about what that means for the rest of our week.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kids &amp; Families - …And more!</image:title>
      <image:caption>As our young disciples change and grow, so do the ways they engage faith. We offer First Communion class for those who wish to learn more about this sacrament in this way. We also offer Confirmation classes which provide young people a safe environment to learn about their faith and ask tough questions. We believe having fun is one way we share God’s love and build community!</image:caption>
