Sunday WorshipLast Sunday, our concluding point was that if you've found Jesus, you'll want to bring others to Jesus, too. But for so many of us, this seems a daunting task. What if our friends reject us? What if they think we're silly? What if they have questions about God or the Bible that we aren't prepared to answer? What if it all falls flat? In other words, how can we overcome our fears surrounding evangelism? This Sunday's passage (John 1:43-51) will give us some encouragement, as we consider how one new follower of Jesus introduced his friend to him. He didn't have all the answers either; he simply invited him to "come and see." Join us this Sunday for prayer at 9:30, worship and communion at 10:00, and fellowship downstairs after the service. And maybe invite a friend to "come and see." |

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

Neighborhood Block PartyInvite a friend for our Neighborhood Block Party to be held in the Grace Church parking lot on Saturday, October 18 from 1:00-5:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to let our neighbors know who we are, and that we are here for them. There will be music, food, and fun for the whole family! See Fulika Cassell for more details. |

Community GroupsWe were made to follow Christ together, in community. This fall, several groups will be doing just that. Some will meet weekly; others twice a month. Some will meet at Grace; others in homes. We definitely have a group for you! Consider which one might work, then reach out to the Leader directly, or contact office@gracestamford.org for more info. We hope everyone at Grace will join a group this fall! Mondays: 8:00 pm at Grace - Men Only - Starts Sep 22 - Tom Hansen
