Operation Christmas Child, Community Groups, Block Party, and More!

Sunday Worship

Sunday Worship

How can we trust that God knows what he's doing? In a world filled with sin, evil, and chaos, we are often tempted to doubt God's goodness, question his plans or his timing, or even to take matters into our own hands altogether. Trust is often the more difficult path. And yet we have good reasons to keep trusting the Lord. 

This Sunday, we will return to our series in the Gospel of John to consider what the ministry of John the Baptist can teach us about these things (John 1:19–28). His life will show us that we can always, no matter what, trust that God knows exactly what he's doing. 

Prayer starts at 9:30 in the Sanctuary, worship begins at 10:00, and fellowship continues afterwards downstairs. We'll see you on Sunday. 

Community Groups

Community Groups

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!

Save the Date

Save the date and invite 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.

We are excited to participate in this annual event to bless children and share the Gospel with them this Christmas. The shoeboxes and labels are here. Our goal is to fill all 100 boxes! Fill a box with small toys, clothing items, toiletries, and a personal message from you. Also consider including the $10 cost of shipping (instructions for that are on the labels). Return filled boxes to Grace Church between 10/26 and 11/16. See Patty Assatly or Stephanie Barrera for more details. Visit the website to learn more.
