Volunteers Needed Grace Church has been serving the Food Pantry for 31 years. This outreach is the longest running outreach program of Grace Church. It is through volunteer effort that this program continues. And we need more volunteers! Our church serves a two week rotation four times a year. A volunteer typically works three days a year. The opportunities are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12:00 until 1:30. If you have any of these days and times available a couple of times a year, you will feel rewarded by giving this time to the Food Pantry. Interested? Please call the church office. (7/8)

Our Chapel Please note that the Chapel doors are kept locked, except when required to be open for worship and other church activities. Those wishing to use the Chapel for private prayer and meditation during the week may gain access by coming to the Grace Center during office hours. (1/31)
