Sunday Worship
Join us this Sunday at 10 am as we gather for worship and fellowship. Our sermon series is titled Master Plan: The Letter to the Ephesians. We'll see that even before the foundations of the world, God has a master plan which would be fulfilled in and through Jesus Christ. Together, we'll discover our place in this plan and what it means for how we live. Our scripture passage this Sunday is Ephisians 3:1-13, and the sermon title is, "God's Eternal Purpose." |

Prayer Focus
Our prayer focus this week is the community and world. "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV) Please pray for our church family. Look for the Weekly Prayer Update sent out each week as a reminder to pray for the specific needs of our bothers and sisters in Christ. If you are not a Partner of Grace Church but would like to receive the prayer updates, contact office@gracestamford.org. If you or someone you know is in need of prayer, please contact office@gracestamford.org. |
