A Season of Giving at Grace Community Church

This month is the 10th anniversary for Grace Community Church’s Season of Giving, where individuals and families have the opportunity to make special Christmas donations to the various ministries supported by the church. This December Grace will partner with three organizations in various ways:

Dove Boxes: Prepare one of these gift boxes with essentials and toys for children. These boxes will be given to families at Canaan Institutional Baptist Church in South Norwalk.

Angel Tree: Purchase and wrap a toy for a child. Gifts will be distributed via Prison Fellowship to kids whose parents are incarcerated at Riker’s Island prison in New York.

Christmas Shoe Boxes: An annual tradition started by Grace Church families! Fill and wrap a shoebox with fun items for teen boys and girls. These pint-sized presents will be handed out Christmas morning in Bridgeport neighborhoods through the Bridgeport Rescue Mission.

Secret Santa: Purchase and wrap a toy for a younger boy or girl to be handed out Christmas morning to children in Bridgeport neighborhoods, also through the Bridgeport Rescue Mission.

Grace Community Church’s Sunday service is at 9:30am at Saxe Middle School. Coffee and bagels are available at 9:00am in the lobby, and nursery care is available for babies through 3 years. For more information, visit www.gracecommunity.info.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
