4 SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP At Grace, worship is central to everything. Worship means learning to recognize God s goodness while delighting to deepen in our responses. It means purposing together, as individuals as a covenant community to unite our actions, intentions and emotions in loving response to God. It means transforming the way we think so that what we do and who we are become onein, for, through and to the Father, Son and Spirit. Sunday Worship Connection Communion ~ Communion is received every 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month as part of our worship service. The bread and wine represent Christ s Body. He was given to die for our sin and He was raised for our salvation. If you have received Jesus as your Savior, we encourage you to partake. Prayer~ We are a church who understands the importance of being in communication with God through prayer. If you would like someone to pray with you we have a number of shepherds available. We also have a prayer alert if you would like to be added to the list please let the office know.
