All-Church Work Day this Saturday
We are so excited to welcome new Director of Worship Ministries Carey Mellers and his family to Grace on July 31. To do that well, we are working together to prepare the house at 239 Courtland Ave. Join us this Saturday, July 20, for an All-Church Work Day from 9 am – 3 pm. From cleaning, to painting, to pressure washing, and more, there is a job for everyone (reference the email from 7/16 for more info). Even one hour will help! Pizza lunch and cold drinks will be provided. Please RSVP to tom@gracestamford.org if you can help. Thank you! |
Sunday Worship
This Sunday, we begin a new series in the book of Ruth. This short but powerful Old Testament book wrestles with some of life's most important and difficult questions, which we also face today. Questions like: Is God actually good? Can we really trust him? How will he provide for his people? Will he actually keep his promises? Together, we'll discover the answers to these questions and more through the incredible and unlikely story of Ruth. Our scripture passage is Ruth chapter 1, and both the sermon and the series are titled, "An Unexpected Grace." |
Grace Youth Beach Night
Calling all 6th–12th graders! Join us for a night at Cove Beach on Sunday, July 28, from 5–8 pm. We'll have food and fun as we spend some time together. Invite a friend and meet near the volleyball nets to the left of the bath house. Questions? Contact tom@gracestamford.org. |
Grace Kids Beach Party
Join us for a Grace Kids Beach Party on Saturday, Aug 17th from 2pm - 5pm! This event is for Grace Kids (birth - 5th grade), their families, and all Grace Kids volunteers. We will meet at the ALC Beach at the end of Lanark Road and Ocean Drive North (street parking available on both streets). Please wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring a towel!

Prayer FocusThe community and world “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon the earth.” (Psalm 67:1-4 ESV) Please also pray for our church family.
