Last Sunday, we saw how Deacons are essential to a healthy church. But the question still remains: who should serve as Deacons? The answer might surprise you. We'll consider this question from 1 Timothy 3:8–13, with a sermon titled, "We Practically Serve the Body of Christ, Part 2." Join us on Sunday for prayer at 9:30 am, worship at 10 am, and fellowship after the service.

Everyone is encouraged to come and share the love of Christ with our local community. We will walk the neighborhood surrounding Grace Church, picking up trash, speaking with any neighbors we meet, and praying for our community. Kids are welcome! Meet at Grace at 10:00am on Saturday, May 10, and check in with Fulika Cassell.

What is Grace Church all about? What does the church believe? What does it mean to be a Partner? If you are asking these questions (or others!), then join us for the next Discover Grace Class to learn about Grace's history, identity, beliefs, mission, partnership, and more. 12:00 - 1:00pm in Taylor Hall on May 18, June 1, June 8.

Make plans now to attend this meeting, which is essential to our life together as a church! We'll provide dinner at 6:30 pm, and childcare during the meeting, which begins promptly at 7:15 pm. Come celebrate what God has done, and make important decisions about our future.

All women are cordially invited to the Grace Church 4th Annual Ladies Tea on Saturday, June 14th from 2:00-4:00 pm. Wear a spring dress and hat, and bring your favorite tea cup. Tea sandwiches and other delicate nibbles will be served. RSVP and $20 payment (cash or check) due by May 25 to Maura Maitan, Miriam Pensiero, or Carla Lanuza.

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17). Men, we need each other to grow in our relationship with God. Join with other brothers every 2nd and 4th Monday from 8:00 – 9:00 pm. Contact tom@gracestamford.org for more details. 

Pray for a deep love for the Lord Jesus, faithfulness to the Word, a passion for prayer, fervent witnessing to the surrounding communities, more servant-leaders for Grace, especially in Grace Kids and Youth, and abundant financial provision for the church.
