“TO RAISE UP GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES THAT ARE BUILT TO LAST”

Grace Rockaway celebrated the National Night Out last month. Many thanks to all of the volunteers who made the night such a success. The Night Out is a national program put together by local law enforcement to draw communities together and to promote a safe event for families and kids. Grace Rockaway was there and added to the fun with a DUNK TANK, drink giveaways, along with invitations to attend Grace Rockaway, shopping bag giveaway, Bibles, and much more. We had a line of kids that you had to see to believe. Go TEAM!

Do you live in the greater Rockaway area? Come worship at Grace Church, Rockaway. We meet:

Every Sunday, 10:00 a.m.
