Fire at St. Andrew's United Church

The people of Grace Church extend their care and concern to the people of St. Andrew's United Church, Brantford following their tragic fire on the evening of January 24th, 2006. We have offered our help in any way and the use of our facilities to the St. Andrew's Board.

Update -

Soup for the Soul Dinners

Check at St. Andrews for times and days of operation. The Grace Church Daily Bread dinners on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. remain at Grace Church. Thanks to the people of St. Andrews for the gift of allowing us to share in this important ministry.

Confirmation Planned for May 7, 2006

We are pleased to announce that Bishop Bruce Howe will be confirming candidates from this deanery on Sunday May 7th at 3:00 p.m. in a deanery-wide service scheduled for St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Brantford. Grace Church will be holding confirmation classes beginning in late February and running approximately six weeks.

Anyone interested in seeking confirmation should attend an evening information session in the Grace Church fireside room on Thursday February 2nd at 7:00 p.m. At that meeting we will be discussing course content and planning the schedule for the learning sessions.

Arrangements are being made for special confirmation preparation for any adults seeking confirmation or who would like to make an adult re-affirmation of faith.
