How can a church unwittingly prevent itself from growing? Find out on Sunday as we resume "Life in God's House," our series on becoming a healthy church, with a sermon from Acts 6:1–7 titled, "We Practically Serve the Body of Christ." Join us for prayer at 9:30 am, worship at 10 am, and fellowship after the service.

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

Make plans now to attend this meeting, which is essential to our life together as a church! We'll provide dinner at 6:30 pm, and childcare during the meeting, which begins promptly at 7:15 pm. Come celebrate what God has done, and make important decisions about our future.

Deepen your relationship with God through an intimate time of prayer and worship with fellow believers. Wednesday, May 7, 7:00 - 8:00 pm in the sanctuary. 

Everyone is encouraged to come and share the love of Christ with our local community. We will walk the neighborhood surrounding Grace Church, picking up trash, speaking with any neighbors we meet, and praying for our community. Kids are welcome to join us. Meet at Grace at 10:00am on Saturday, May 10.

Registration is open!  Ladies, we hope you'll join with us and other women from New England for the annual Women's Retreat at Camp Spofford in New Hampshire. It is a great time to get away and enjoy fellowship, worship,  and teaching with other women who are looking to grow in their faith in God. The dates are September 12 - 14. This weekend fills up quickly! See Jo Rucquoi or Mallory Valenzano for details.

What is Grace Church all about? What does the church believe? What does it mean to be a Partner?

Pray for more teachers for Grace Kids, leaders for Grace Youth, wisdom for parents, and for all children to know, love, serve, and share the Lord Jesus Christ!
