The Evangelism and Outreach Committee coordinates all programs of the parish to further church growth either by new member ministry or the spiritual growth of present members. Grace Episcopal Church has a very active outreach ministry in the Norwood and surrounding communities. Affiliated ministries include:

Feast of Grace Family Fair: This event, held in late spring, is Grace Church's gift to the Norwood community. The fair features rides, games, food, a yard sale and free entertainment. The proceeds of the funds are the parish's primary source of funding for outreach ministry.

Christmas Tree Sale: This event, held throughout the month of December, raises funds for the ministries of Grace Church.

Pastoral Care Team: This ministry to elderly, ill and hospitalized parishioners provides comfort and assistance through home and hospital visits and telephone follow-up.

Parish Facilities: The parish often furnishes use of the facility for support groups and community activities such as the Widows' Lifeline and Weight Watchers.

Walk With Grace: Held in the fall, this is a 3-mile walk around Norwood to raise funds for the food pantry.
