The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church USA.  PDA responds to disasters around the world, including the recent floods in the Midwest.  One way PDA responds is by distributing buckets filled with clean-up supplies.  In effort to restock the warehouse with buckets, the Presbytery of Southern Kansas challenged congregations to donate money for this purpose.

The Grace Mission Distribution team contributed $1000.  Other churches in the presbytery donated a total of $6027, and the Presbytery Mission Team matched it.  We were able to give $12,055 to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance to purchase clean-up bucket supplies.  This will fill 325 clean-up buckets which will be ready to go when another disaster hits.

Do you love to be with children? Do you love to read or be read to?

If you answered yes to these questions, we have just the opportunity for you!  The Grace Reading Tutoring program is seeking individuals willing to tutor and/or substitute tutor for the 2019-2010 academic year.

Are you interested in technology? Can you be available on Sunday mornings? Then we have an opportunity for you! Additional volunteers are needed to learn how to run the sound and light boards for Sunday services. Training is available and your help will make a real difference.

In July everyone who knows how to run the boards will be gone at the same time. If you are willing to help us in the next few weeks contact Martin Burch for more information and training. Call him in the office, 684-5215, or email marburch@mygpc.org. Hope to hear from you soon!
