“I just officially joined Grace Church in October of 2025 after the merger of St. John’s Episcopal Church in East Windsor was unanimously voted in at the annual convention of the Episcopal
Diocese of CT. I was a lifelong member of St. John’s. I was baptized there, went to church school, was in the choir and on the Vestry a few times. Most recently I was the Senior Warden and currently am the co-senior warden of Grace. It was a long and sometimes sad journey to get to Grace Church, guided by the Holy Spirit. This merger brings together the strengths of both parishes. The parishioners have been very inviting and supportive. I am looking forward to see what the future holds for me and for Grace Church.”

“When I was transferred to Connecticut by the FAA, we chose to live in Windsor because it seemed to be the quintessential New England Town and it was close to Bradley International Airport. We began looking for a Church home and fell in love with Grace Church. The Parishioners were so welcoming and the Church Campus was again quintessential New England Episcopalian. We fell in love with Grace and so proud that our children grew up in such a wonderful Parish.”

“A lifelong resident of Windsor and Grace Church, I’ve served on the Vestry for more than 20 years, as a Vestry member, Senior Warden, and currently as Treasurer and Chairman of Building and Grounds.
Of all the endearing qualities of this church and congregation, I am most impressed by the resilience of this parish. Like many of the congregations in our past, we’ve always met the challenges of an ever-changing environment with strength, conviction, and faith.“
I have been a member of Grace Church since:
All of my life.

“After relocating to Windsor sometime in 1998, I drove by Grace Church and was fascinated by the Beauty as it bore some resemblance to my Anglican Church in Jamaica. I attended services and each time was warmly welcomed by several members that gave me a feeling of warmth and love and since then has made Grace Church my family.”
I have been a member of Grace Church since: Since 1998.
