This Sunday concludes our series in John 2–4, "Signs of a Savior." We began this series with a miracle in Cana, and now we end the series with another miracle in Cana. Have you seen who Jesus is, and why he came? Have you paused to consider the kind of faith he wants us to have? We'll consider that together this Sunday, as we see the pure, simple faith of a desperate father in John 4:43–54, with a sermon titled "Take Him at His Word."

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

The Women's Christmas Cookie Exchange has been postponed.  See Fulika Cassell for more details.

Are you looking for a way to bless others and spread Christmas cheer this season? Everyone is invited to join us at Harbouorsite Senior Residence on Sunday, December 14 at noon. We will walk the halls and sing Christmas Carols for the elderly residents. Then we will meet them in the Community Room to share refreshments with them. See Shelia Cahill for details.

Calling all voices! Join us for a Christmas Sing Along concert on Friday, December 19 at 7:00 pm. Invite your friends and family, including all children, and let's praise Jesus together and celebrate the reason for the season.

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!

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!
