For the next Town Hall meeting on August 11, we are asking that everyone make a recipe from a Grace Cookbook. “Don’t have one,” you say. Well, we will have them for sale for the bargain price of $5.00. See Chris and Chris at the coffee bar area on Sundays in July.
The Refugee team is excited to prepare for this year’s refugee backpack drive to be held at First Presbyterian Church on July 27, 2024, 10 am – 2 pm. The International Rescue Committee asked us to prepare 900 backpacks (we prepared 700 last year)! Our church is one of several faith-based organizations coming together to help purchase supplies.
Grace Presbyterian Church has committed to providing the following three items for 495 backpacks:
- Crayola colored pencils
- Crayola thin markers
- wide-ruled filler paper
We are requesting cash donations this year to purchase consistent supplies in bulk at lower prices and tax-free. If preparing a check, please designate ‘refugee team’ on the memo line.
We need volunteers to help set up the day before (and tear down) and assist our student ‘shoppers’ on July 27. Please sign up at the bulletin board by the coffee bar.

During the month of June, we are collecting peanut butter and jelly, donating half to the Covenant Presbyterian Church food pantry and half to the Salvation Army (Orchard location) food pantry. If possible, please make sure the jars are plastic. You are welcome to make a cash donation and note on the check that it is for the June Yellow Bag program. At the end of the month, we will buy peanut butter and jelly for distribution.
