Give Blood

Red Cross Blood Drive: August 6

  • Every two seconds someone in the US needs blood.
  • One pint of blood (the approximate amount given in a donation) can be used to help up to three people.
  • About 1/3 of the US population is eligible to give blood.
  • Five million patients in the US need blood every year.

On August 6, we host a Red Cross Blood drive at Grace from 8 am – 1 pm. Sign up to donate by calling the office – 684-5215, emailing Catherine Neelly Burton Catherine@mygpc.org  or by going here:

Get in on the acts

Get in on the Act(s)

Join Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton in reading through the Book of Acts. During the month of June, and the first Sunday of July, our worship texts all come from Acts. Gather with Catherine for five Tuesdays at noon to read through the book. We’ll read out loud through several chapters each week. We’ll pause for discussion and questions as they arise. No prep is necessary. Bring a Bible and meet in Room 101 at noon on Tuesdays starting on May 30 and going through June 27.

Yellow Bag Sundays

Yellow Bag Sundays: May 2017

Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.  Our contributions this month go the Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church food pantry.

muffins

Muffins for Jacob’s Learning Ladder: May 15 and 16

Help Us Bless Jacob’s Learning Ladder Families

Again this year we want to show the families of Jacob’s Learning Ladder and Adventure Club how much we appreciate them. We will be thanking these wonderful people by providing Coffee and Muffins-on-the-Go for the parents Monday, May 15, and Tuesday, May 16, from 6:45 am to 9:45 am each day.

Please help us bless these families with radical hospitality by either providing muffins to the church that you can drop off or by signing up to help greet the parents on one or both of the mornings in shifts. You will find a sign-up bulletin board in the hallway by the coffee bar. This is a wonderful ministry of Grace, and we want to let these families know how much we care about them and their children.
