There are multiple ways to connect with other church members. With the variety of ministries and small groups we have to offer, you will discover how easy it is to get and stay connected
Card Care Ministry
The Card Care Team communicates care and concern through our greeting card ministry to church members and family members of church members during times of illness, hospitalization, death of loved ones, or other times of crisis and difficulties. Cards also are sent to celebrate births, baptisms, new church members, confirmations, graduations, birthdays of church members ages 85+, and other joyful occasions in the lives of church members. Additionally, greeting cards are sent each month to our church members living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities to let them know that they are thought of with love and concern.
Soup's on Meal Ministry
Our Soup’s On ministry provides a meal of soup, cornbread or crackers and a dessert to members of Grace UMC, who are just home from the hospital, prolonged illness, death of a family member or other time of need. We schedule cooking events in the Grace UMC kitchen and make soup and cookies and then freeze it in our Soup’s On freezer.
Nursing home &
Assisted Living Visitation
Volunteers spend one hour each month with church members who live in local nursing homes or assisted living facilities. These volunteers make long-lasting memories with aging members of our congregation who are no longer able to attend church on a regular basis and help them stay connected to the church they love so much. Each volunteer is assigned to one or two specific individuals. After visiting each month, each volunteer informs the church of any changes or updates regarding the individual. The ability to travel to the assigned facility and the desire to develop a relationship with one of these wonderful church members is necessary.
