Church in Society
This ministry deals with a variety of issues that are facing the church and society today, such as homosexuality, abortion, public education, prayer in schools, etc.
Member Care
This is a ministry caring for the needs of our sick and dying and their families. Meals are prepared for sick at home. Receptions are hosted following funerals / memorial services. Members and friends can bring food or help with receptions. Assisting members with rides to doctors or the grocery store is another way to help, as well as maintenance and repairs in specific situations.
Food Pantry
The Pantry at the Church is for distribution in emergency situations. A box is provided in the narthex for donations of food. Food is also shared with the Living Bread Ministry of IWV who coordinates the needs of the valley.
Holiday Food Baskets - Pat Wharton and Janet Hughes
We participate in the community Holiday Food Basket program during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Volunteers are needed to purchase food for families assigned to Grace.
Scouting
We are thankful to members and friends of scouting for a very active Cub Scouts (Pack 848) and Boy Scouts (Troop 848). Activities are held weekly and monthly. There is a place for boys starting in Tiger Cub (first grade, ages 6 or 7 years old) to Eagle Scout (age 18).
