We are privileged to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Napa Valley, just north east of San Francisco. In spite of the abundance in our community, however, many of our neighbors do not enjoy the kind of lifestyle most frequently associated with the Wine Country. At Grace Church, our “backyard” extends from a Preschool to the north of us, in Calistoga, to a Homeless Shelter in Napa to our south, and even to the streets of San Francisco itself. It is among the less privileged in our community that we find many of our neighbors. Please join us in meeting some of them:
