SUMMER MISSION TRIP
Don't forget to sign up your teens for one of the best weeks of the summer! We’ve planned an exciting mission trip to Pennsylvania with MFUGE, where graduates of 6th-12th grades will experience what life with Jesus is like: exciting, real, and intentional. Each element is purposefully designed to connect back to God’s Word, with their highly trained staff leading the way. And, from the awesome programming to meals, activities, and lodging – everything is provided.
This trip will take place from June 29th to July 3rd. If your teen would like to participate, connect with Catherine Palazola HERE as soon as possible to reserve a spot!
DON'T FORGET
MARCH 8TH/GRACE SUNDAY SERVICE
Next Sunday, due to a town wide event held at Saxe Middle School, we'll hold our 9:30am service at New Canaan High School. Please spread the word and enjoy ample parking. Look for our social media posts, and be sure to follow us on Instagram or Facebook for all Grace happenings!
BAPTISM CEREMONY
Water baptism is a beautiful picture of what God has done for us. As we are immersed in the water, we symbolize burial with our Lord; we are baptized into his death on the cross and are no longer slaves to self or sin (Romans 6:3-7). Up from the water, we are symbolically raised to new life in Christ to be with him forever.
We'll hold our next Baptism ceremony on Sunday, March 22nd, at 12:30pm at the Parkway Assembly of God Church in Norwalk. If you’d like to be baptized, please contact Pastors Cliffe, Stuart or Rob as they would like to meet with you before the ceremony.
