Join us this Sunday as we gather for worship and fellowship. As we prepare for our annual International Sunday on November 3, we will consider the biblical perspective of the nations. How did all of these different nations originate? Why is there such division and discord? And ultimately, what does God want for the nations? Together we'll take a big picture look at God's beautiful plan for the nations in our series, "Global Gospel." In week three , we'll consider Revelation 22:1-5,  "We Will See His Face."

We will also celebrate Communion together during the Sunday service, remembering the Body and Blood of Christ together.

Join us this Sunday, November 3 after the service for our annual International Sunday Luncheon. This is a time when we celebrate the diversity of nationalities in our Grace Church family by sharing a meal together. Everyone is asked to bring a dish that represents their culture. 

Everyone is welcome to join us Wednesday, November 6 for a time of prayer and worship together. We will meet in the sanctuary from 7:00 - 8:00 pm.

There are still boxes available in the foyer to fill for Operation Christmas Child. Take a box and a lable for each box. Fill with toys and personal items. Return to Grace Church by November 17. Please add $10 to cover the cost of shipping. See Patty Assatly for more details.
