Outreach and Mission Projects at Grace Church
Help Give a Child a Bed
For Missions & Outreach, we'd like to repurpose the donation box for the next 3 months, for a collection drive for Sleep In Heavenly Peace, the organization that builds bunk beds for children in needy families who would otherwise be on the floor or be squeezed in with others.
No kid sleeps on the floor in our town!
What's needed are sheets, blankets, comforters and
mattress covers for TWIN beds
that can then go along with the beds that are being built. Needs to be for twin beds!
At the end of each month we'll collect all items from the box and take them to Petersen's Carpet & Flooring which is one of the main donation sites.
In addition to sheets, blankets and mattress covers, you can donate online to the local chapter. Sleep In Heavenly Peace is 100% volunteer and donation driven; any contributions will go straight to buying materials and assembling beds!
We Care for the Needs of Our Community
Grace Church faithfully supports a number of local missions, including the Food Bank and the Soup Kitchen at the Frederick Community Action Agency, Beyond Shelter, and Heartly House. Throughout the year, we collect nonperishable food items for the Food Bank, and our "Grace Groceries" are dedicated during the offering on the third Sunday of each month. Members of Grace Church also serve at the local Soup Kitchen.
Frederick Community Action Agency’s
Soup Kitchen
next service date: TBD
Volunteers from Grace Church serve at the Soup Kitchen on the 3rd Sunday of even months. It's a rewarding mission experience and we always have fun.
Or, you can go on your own...The Soup Kitchen is always in need of volunteers to staff the soup kitchen and serve food to homeless individuals and needy families. Volunteers are needed M-F, 5-7pm to serve prepared meals and then clean up. It is an enjoyable and rewarding volunteer activity that does not require any special skills. For more information, please contact Sarah McAleavy at 301-600-6263.
FCAA - Food Bank
On the third Sunday of every month, we dedicate the “Grace Groceries” that have been collected in our little red wagon (in the narthex), and then deliver them to the Frederick Foodbank. Thank you for your continued generosity!
We Care for the Wider Community and the World
Grace Church has been an avid supporter of Habitat For Humanity both locally and internationally by participating in Habitat builds in Western Maryland and West Virginia and by financially supporting Frederick County's Habitat For Humanity.
The members of Grace also participate in and give generously to the programs of Church World Service, such as Blankets+, School Kits, Baby Care Kits, Hygiene Kits and the CROP Hunger Walk.
