COMMUNION SUNDAY
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we could be in right relationship with God. Communion is a time to collectively reflect and say thank you. We use crackers and grape juice to symbolize Jesus' body and blood that were broken and shed for us.
If you are joining us in-person, be sure to take the elements of juice and cracker before you enter the Worship Center. We have gluten-free crackers available.
If you are joining us online, we encourage you to plan ahead and prepare your own elements before you turn on the service.

FALL SERIES - THE CHOSEN
NEW GROUP LEADERS
This fall, Pastor Joe will take us through a series on the popular TV show called The Chosen. This show is about the life of Jesus through the eyes of His disciples and it's life changing. We will focus on season 3, so if you haven't watched it yet, make this your summer show! To find the episodes, google 'the chosen', it's available for free streaming.
We have a lot of new people at Grace and we need to make room for them. So we are looking for new small group leaders. If you are interested, connect with Pastor Monti.
