Cuba Partnership

Darcy Eads and Carolyn Shaw are connecting with our sister church, Placetas, in Placetas, Cuba, and their pastor and his wife each week to share one or two prayer concerns for Grace to lift up along with them praying for us. This week, they shared this joy, the children’s Christmas Eve pageant.  They also asked for prayers for Phoebe, Edith, and Yamila, who live alone, and the holidays are lonely for them. For John Carlos and Thalía – two kids who are undergoing cancer treatments.

If you have questions about our partnership between Placetas, the Presbytery of Southern Kansas, and Grace, please contact Darcy or Carolyn. You can support them in many ways, including adding them to your prayers.

PCUSA Per Capita

It’s that time of year again – for our per capita commitment to the PCUSA. For 2025, per capita is $42.50 per active Grace member. This money is part of the glue that holds Presbyterians together and enables us to work with other Presbyterian churches in our presbytery and across the country to further the mission of Jesus Christ. If you’d like to defray the cost of this budget item, make a check payable to Grace and mark it ‘per capita,’ or use the online portal and select the per capita tile to make a contribution.
