Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community.  This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is on a weekend we meet the Friday before.  Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. We offer a brief worship service at 7:30 am.  Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:45 am.

We can always use volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and ticket distribution.  Want to help?  Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@myGrace.org or 684-5215.

Each year the Deacons host a ‘Super Senior’ party for the seniors in the Grace community.  This year everyone 80 and older is invited.  The event is on March 28.  We gather at noon in the Great Room.

We’re excited to fellowship, share a meal, and enjoy live entertainment.  Our theme is “Spring Fling,” and we hope the theme ushers in warmer weather. Invitations are mailed soon. If you are a Super Senior and do not receive an invitation, please let us know.  RSVP to the church office, 684-5215.

As you’re cleaning closets and organizing drawers please remember that Economy Corner would love to have items that you no longer can use.

We accept clothing as well as household items for our thrift store at Central and Broadway.  Please bring your donations to Grace any time.  Donations can be dropped off in the Economy Corner room in the Southwest corner of the basement. We will price items and send them to the store to be sold.  Grace receives 45% of the ticketed price of our items, which we then give to a variety of cause

The Grace Cuba Team meets on March 10 at 6:30 pm in Room 103.  If you are curious about the Grace Cuba Partnership, come and participate. Questions? Contact Darcy Eads deads@cox.net.

 

Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.  In March our contributions go to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).  The IRC works with new and long-term refugees in Wichita.  Our church refugee team partners with IRC for a variety of projects. Below is a list of items needed at the IRC:

  1. Diapers (size newborn, 3, 4, 5)
  2. Baby wipes
  3. Thermometer
  4. First-aid kit
  5. Hand soap

  7. New cutting board
  8. Can opener (new or used)
  9. New shower curtain
  10. $25 Gift cards to Walmart and/or Dillons. (If you’d like to give cash or check instead, please write “Refugee Yellow Bag” in the memo line on the check).
