Every year about this time, the Grace United youth and young adults serve in corporate worship, to include the preaching.

Christians understand that the New Testament speaks much of the grace of God. But what about the Old Testament? Is there anything about grace there? Certainly, God deals graciously and mercifully with his people as recorded in various places from Genesis (Enoch) to Isaiah (bringing his people back to their land after 70 years), and many other places besides.

Join the Grace United crew as we "follow the numbers" leading to the grace and mercy of God.

Jesus said at what we call the "Last Supper"--"take this and drink it, for this is the New Covenant in my blood . . ." So, what exactly IS the New Covenant? How does it change one's relationship with Almighty God? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the wonders of the Glorious New Covenant.
