How Can I Serve with GRACE?

Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as singing and cooking to giving our time for members of the community. Please prayerfully consider where you may provide your time, talents, and/or financial support to the Church and our ministries. For additional information on how to get involved contact the Church office.

Music & Drama

God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in the choir. Still others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.
 
Be a Member of the Prayer Chain

The Prayer Chain Ministry at Grace Lutheran performs a very essential function. Prayer Chain volunteers individually offer up daily prayers for a list of people who are going through health or personal struggles. Friends and/or relatives either call or email the church office or a Prayer Chain member asking for prayers which are forwarded to each member. Confidentiality is a must when requested. The Prayer Chain meets quarterly to touch base and update information. New volunteer members are always welcome. To volunteer please email the Prayer Chain Chairperson, Lois Gordie.
