As a life-long spiritual seeker and religious skeptic, I'm surprised by how much I appreciate this…read morechurch. Yes, they're Christians (a tough one to pull off in Fairfax). At the same time, they're affiliated with the United Church of Christ denomination (arguably the most liberal religious Christians along the spectrum). The services are very welcoming and it shows in the way the pastor engages in dialogue after her sermon (a very rare thing to find in church), not to mention referring to Jesus as that "Middle Eastern Mystic". Also, I've never known a pastor who teaches aerial. It's really cool to end a service with a nine-year-old swinging on a trapeze to captivating music! The sanctuary space is also stunningly beautiful with incredible paintings throughout. No wonder the Ecstatic Dance group uses it on Friday nights! I think a lot of people in Marin could benefit from attending this church. What I appreciate most is the balance between contemplative practices and fun, engaging services. They get humility and forgiveness in way I wish other churches and traditions did - a good reason to keep coming back.

In the church (by the way, it's not all churchy with a big Jesus or anything, just more of a spiritual room), we all sat in a circle and shared stories about Jenna (my aunt) and the pastor did a great job letting us create our ceremony, while at the same time guiding it and giving her words or wisdom and spirituality. It was exactly how Jena would have wanted it. After the ceremony, we gathered outside the church in an outside courtyard area with tables that are surrounded by trees. It was very nice and perfect for our situation. We ate, laughed, cried, chatted, and shared memories of Jenna. This was a great place for our memorial party.

Vucinovich (1937 - 2008) was the late priest here, who most locals remember as Father Al. Quoting his obituary "He was a very kind man. He enjoyed his work. He really liked being a pastor," said Pastor Associate Silvia Chiesa. I remember He got relocated to st Catherine's in burlingame in 1998 where he helped others but his heart was here at St. Rita's. A SF native, He would visit pismo beach as much as he could traveled abroad. Visited the Vatican, Greece and the cliff house a few times lol His aunt Jane passed in 2018. I'll always remember his kindness to others and if you know Father Al drop me a hello or a line!

My husband and I have been attending this church for 5 years and we often say it is the best thing…read moreto happen to us since moving to Marin County. The pastors are every bit as down-to-earth and personable as the many friends we've made in the congregation. I could write paragraphs about how uplifting the Sunday church service is, and how welcoming it is to people both new and experienced to faith. But I feel what has stood out to me most about the Grace Church of Marin community is that the people are sincere "brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ." Just one of many examples...when both of our newborn children had to go into the pediatric ICU for medical scares, the outpouring of love, prayers, meals delivered to us, and reassurance that God was with us were invaluable blessings to us at a time when we felt our most vulnerable. If you want to see God's love and work alive and thriving in Marin, this is the place for you to visit.

Last week our heat wasn't workin' and it was super cold and they let us use a big living room area which was full of holiday decorations.
