Grace UMC Fellowship Hall
The Warming Center is going to be a Cooling Center This Summer! Grace United Methodist Church has graciously opened their doors to allow the Warming Center to host a midday lunch each Friday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM for our unhoused neighbors. This will give people a place to get out of the heat, enjoy a meal, and spend time in community.
You can sign up to provide a meal or to volunteer to help serve lunch, clean up, and hang out with guests! Make a volunteer account with the Cape Warming Center to get started!

SEP 13 - OCT 18 - Fall Discover Class
Sundays, Sept 13 – Oct 18
Youth Room
9:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Register by Aug 30
Our Discover Class is a part of our discipleship pathway at Compass. It’s a quarterly bible study class with a new topic each run. This fall, we will be starting The Call: The Life and Ministry of the Apostle Paul by Adam Hamilton.
Follow the journeys of Paul, beginning with his dramatic conversion, as he spread the Gospel through modern-day Greece and Turkey. Travel to the early church sites and explore Paul’s conversations with the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians. In this six-week study, you are invited to experience faith through Christ’s greatest teacher and missionary.
Classes will be video based with an accompanying book. Register by Aug 30!
