Christmas Caroling with Legacy Ministries: December 17

,

After several years of caroling in Crown Heights, where Grace is located, we’re taking our show on the road. This year we join Legacy Ministries for caroling in their neighborhood. Legacy Ministries is a Christian non-profit based in downtown/south Wichita.

Legacy reaches out to their neighborhood through art classes for young people, a community garden, a home in the community, and more.

On December 17, we join Legacy to carol in their neighborhood. Meet at Grace at 6 pm to carpool. Contact Jennifer Snook with questions. Caroling is about enthusiasm, not skill, so come ready to spread some cheer!

We need your help! Every year Operation Holiday (Interfaith Ministries) serves over 12,000 people. Operation Holiday provides food, coats, and gifts for families in need.

On Saturday, December 12, we sort donations to Operation Holiday. We did this two years ago and sorted coats and thousands of canned goods. It’s a fun, active way to serve and do something good for people of all ages. Children and youth (with an adult) are welcome.

There are two shifts on December 12: 10 am – 1 pm or 1 pm – 4 pm. Call the church office to sign-up. The volunteer site is 6225 E. Kellogg (the old Davis-Moore dealership between Edgemoor and Woodlawn).
