Grace Concert Series 
On behalf of Grace Church, Pastor Bob Atkins and the Grace Music Ministry, welcome to the 2009-2010 Season of the Grace Concert Series! This year's series theme is "Music Close Enough To Touch." The theme describes some of the ways in which the Grace series is special. 

Close enough ... a satisfying alternative to the Chicago music and arts scene ... great as it is, it's quite a journey...and quite an expense! The Grace Concert Series is near all that Naperville has to offer, but with easy access and lots of free parking. And in the inviting and acoustically pleasing Grace Sanctuary, you can hear world-class music up close where the sights and sounds are sure to touch you. For Grace members, the series represents a rare opportunity to touch your friends, family and neighbors by inviting them to join you for a single concert or for the whole series. And for all of us, the Concert Series represents a fantastic value...quality music that usually requires a major investment is "Close Enough to Touch."  

With a song,

Dan Wagner
Minister of Music and Concert Series Director
