Join us this Sunday at 10 am as we gather for worship and fellowship. We will continue our series in the Book of Acts. Our scripture passage is Acts 20:17-38,  and the sermon title is, "Paul and the Importance of Legacy."

You can listen to our Sunday sermons while on the go! Audio-only sermons are available on the sermons page of our website and also on Spotify. Video sermons are still available on our YouTube channel.

It's time to fill the shoeboxes! This is a great way to share the love of Jesus with children in need at Christmas. Boxes will be available after the service. Sign up for boxes, fill them and return them to Grace Church no later than November 5. Items can include small toys, school supplies, personal care items, a hand written note from you, and more. If you have any questions, please contact office@gracestamford.org. 

Community Groups will meet Wednesday evenings in Taylor Hall at 6:30 pm, Saturdays beginning October 14 at Grace at 5:30 pm, and Sundays beginning October 8 at the Rucquoi's home at 5:00 pm.
