Volunteer Blitz Month
The Outreach Committee has designated October as Volunteer Blitz Month at Grace Church!
The Outreach Committee would like to see just how many hours our congregation gives back to our community. From September 28 until November 2, we need your help collecting our volunteering hours. Log your hours on the form below or at the information station at church. You are welcome to fill out this form as you go, or wait until the end of the month to log all hours at the same time.
If you are already volunteering somewhere regularly, make sure to log these hours. If not, the Outreach Committee can supply a list of places where you might volunteer and a contact person at each agency to reach out to.
THE CHALLENGE: Let’s spend October letting our actions prove our words!!
“We are Grace, grounded in faith and relentless in compassion.”
