This Sunday, we'll explore a familiar story related to the birth of Christ: the journey of the Magi from Matthew 2:1–12. What is the significance of this narrative? Why did Matthew make sure to include it in his Gospel? And most importantly, what can we take away from it?

Join us this Sunday at 9:30 am for prayer, 10:00 am for worship, and fellowship downstairs after the service.

All Grace Kids through 6th Grade are invited to the annual Grace Kids Christmas Party on Sunday, December 21st during regular class time. There will be crafts, snacks, and fun activities as we celebrate the birth of Jesus! 

Everyone is invited to join us for our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on December 24 at 7:00 pm. Join us as we celebrate the greatest gift of all!

We 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!
