Each spring we receive the One Great Hour of Sharing offering along with Presbyterians around the world.  This year we receive it on Palm Sunday.

This offering supports the ministry of the PCUSA in the United States and around the world. Specifically, it supports three mission areas: the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and the Self Development of People program.

Each month Grace invites you to contribute to our “Yellow Bag” Sundays.  Yellow reusable grocery bags are available in the building, and you are encouraged to fill them with the item of the month and return them to Grace. In March we collect food, and our donations go to the food pantry at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Wichita.  Please bring non-perishable food items to Grace by Sunday, March 28.

We have a new team at Grace, the Good Neighbor Team.

The Good Neighbor Team works in partnership with the Code Enforcement Office of the city and county. This office looks for volunteers to complete physical labor at the homes of people who are at risk of going to court for code violations and do not have the physical or financial means to complete the projects.  Projects include things like yard clean up, demolishing a broken shed, and lawn mowing.

Our goal is to have a team that completes one project a month from April – November.  Projects occur on both weekdays and weekends. If you are interested in participating in projects, contact Teresa Stange in the church office, teresa@mygpc.org.

Signing up does not mean you go to every project, but it means you try to make them.  You do not need any skills to join this team, just a willingness to do manual labor and a desire to help our neighbors.

The Grace Mission team sent $1000 to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) in February to support their work in southern states hit hard by the cold weather.  You may read more about the work of the PDA here >>
