Missions
"HOT" SUNDAY JANUARY 29! How Outreach Transforms... Come learn about all the wonderful local, national and global missions Grace sponsors and how YOU can get involved! Be sure to stop by the Activity Center between services on January 29, 2012, for some hot, homemade chili and valuable information about the outreach programs of Grace.
Commitment to local, national and global outreach is a tenet not only of Grace Church, but of the United Methodist Church as a whole. Here at Grace, we are sponsors to over 50 missions serving those in our community, our nation, and across our world (see below for a list of and links to the missions we support). This year, from July 18-August 4, a dedicated team from Grace will be traveling to Maua and Meru, Kenya. Please watch for details about how you can support this life-changing summer mission!
Missions of Grace The following missions receive financial and/or human resources from Grace Church; please click the links to their individual websites to find out more about these missions, or contact Grace Administrative Pastor Lisa Telomen at lisatelomen@peopleofgrace.org to become involved in any of them through Grace Church.
Helping the Hungry Households with limited resources often must choose between paying their rent and feeding their families. Food assistance can prevent the tragedy of homelessness for people who find themselves in the position of having to make such a difficult choice. Grace United Methodist Church supports the following three food pantries with donations made on the first Sunday of every month:
In addition to groceries, all of our food pantries accept financial donations. Because of their tax-exempt status and buying resources, each $5 donated equals $50 worth of food for a hungry family! Monetary donations can be placed in the ceramic "Love Loaf" at the back of the Grace Sanctuary or in the offering plate in an envelope marked "Love Loaf." Please make checks payable to Grace UMC, noting "Love Loaf" on the memo line.
