Jon Lanuza, one of our Elders, will be preaching this Sunday. The scripture passage is Deuteronomy 28:1-5, 15-19, with a sermon titled: God Loves You: Obey Him.

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

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

There are no Grace Kids classes on the first Sunday of the month. The Nursery is open and staffed if you need to use it, as well as the Nursing/Cry Room at the back of the Sanctuary.

Message Titled: Speak, For I Am With You

1. What are some fears that can keep us from speaking openly about our faith?

2. How does knowing God is with us change the way we face difficult or uncertain situations?

3. What does that teach us about God's work in places where we may not expect it?

4. What does this passage teach us about the value of staying faithful and investing in people over time, rather than looking for quick results?

Our Annual Church Baptism & Picnic will be held on Sunday, September 13 at Cove Island Park. If you are interested in being baptized, please speak with Elder Dave Rucquoi. Sign up sheets for food and water will be available in the foyer soon.

The Search Committee is excited to move into the next phase of our process! We have retained a professional search firm that will help us in our next steps. We want you to know that we, as the Search Committee, represent you to the search firm. If you have questions anywhere along this process, please reach out to us. Our email address is searchcommittee2026@gracestamford.org.

We were made to follow Christ together, in community. Consider which of these groups you might be a part of. We hope everyone at Grace will join a small group.

This group meets in person or via Zoom. There is a group pot-luck every 4th Monday of the month. See Gavin Pickard for details.

Please pray for Grace Church. Pray for our Elders, our Leadership Team, the Pastoral Search Team, and all our church body. Pray that we would all earnestly seek God's wisdom, direction, and unity.

Please also pray for our church family. Partners, look for the Weekly Prayer Update sent out each week as a reminder to pray for the specific needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ. If you or someone you know is in need of prayer, please contact office@gracestamford.org.

Everyone is welcome to pray together on Wednesdays at noon. Contact Bob Daniel at bobdaniel@aol.com or call or text at 203-858-2708. The Zoom meeting ID is: 309 369 9640.
