SUNDAY, APRIL 19TH

Join us at Saxe Middle School,
468 South Avenue, New Canaan, CT

 
8:45am - Our Elders invite you to gather with them in Room 148 for a time of communal prayer. 
 
9:30am Service - We're looking forward to seeing you at our Sunday service featuring worship music and Assistant Pastor Stuart Knechtle's sermon, God's Power Exceeds Your Experience. Classes for children and teens will be available along with a live stream of the service on our YouTube channel and Facebook page.

11am Programming*

Jude/Discipleship Class - Jude takes it all on; rallies believers to contend for the faith, snatches troubled souls from the fire, and does it all with compassion, grace, and mercy. Craig Knight welcomes you to join him for a class on Jude, Jesus' kid brother and author of a 1-pager in the Bible that bears his name. 

Newcomers' Gathering - If you're new or have recently visited Grace, meet with Senior Pastor Cliffe Knechtle and Community Director Bo Beatty to learn more about our church and how to get involved.

Young Adults Gathering - Rob and Adam invite all 20s and 30s to study and discuss key Bible passages.

 
* Childcare will be available for parents attending our post-service programming.
COUNT ME IN!

Every church attender has a choice to make. Park in your usual Sunday morning parking spot, make your way to a comfortable seat in your favorite row, watch a good service, grab a bagel or cup of coffee, chat with a friend or two, and then head home. That makes for a nice Sunday morning, or … you throw yourself into an adventure by rolling up your sleeves, joining one of our gTeams, and helping build the church God has called you to be part of!

Greeters, Sunday school teachers, parking teamsters, bagel & coffee helpers … and more are needed each Sunday. Stop by our table in the lobby to meet Julie Kim and Julia Hughes to find out more and get in on the fun. Volunteers play a vital role in all that God is doing at Grace!
WOMEN'S SPRING RETREAT

Reach out to a friend or two and join our big group of Grace ladies for our upcoming Spring retreat on Saturday, May 2nd from 9am-3pm. We'll meet at the First Congregational Church in Ridgefield for a wonderful day together filled with fellowship, music and encouragement as we explore being KNOWN, CHOSEN, and CALLED by God. The cost is $65 per person, RSVP HERE.
BEACH BBQ & PICKLEBALL

We’re welcoming the warmer weather and headed to Compo Beach in Westport for an afternoon of picnic food, games, pickleball, kite-flying, and more. We’ll be grilling up hot dogs and hamburgers, and invite you to bring your favorite picnic salad, side dish, or beverage to share. Gather up the family and join us for a wonderful afternoon on the beach with our Grace family. We hope you'll join us on Saturday, April 25th, from 1-3pm. Friends are welcome! RSVP to Bo Beatty HERE so we can plan for the crowd!
