On behalf of the staff and clients of the IRC in Wichita, we would like to extend our most heartfelt thank you to you for donating the household boxes.  Each of the items in the boxes will be put into our clients’ apartments prior to their arrival.  We can’t thank you enough for your thoughtfulness and we appreciate it so greatly.

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This happens on the 15^th of the month, or if the 15^th is a weekend, we meet the Friday before.

Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 7 am in the Grace alcove. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit.Tickets are distributed at 8 am, and a brief worship service with communion follows. Everyone is invited to stay for worship. The worship service ...

In 2015, the Grace Session spent time looking at how to create a better culture of hospitality at our church. One thing we did was  establish a sub-group to look at the signage in our building. Martin Burch, our executive pastor, worked closely with this group.

The interior signage at Grace was put in place when the Great Room addition was made nearly 20 years ago. While attractive, this sub group realized that some of the signage was not entirely accurate. ...

On Saturday, April 30, Grace participated in Love Wichita. Love Wichita is a city wide church effort to show love to the city. It was started in 2009, and Grace has participated every year.

This year we worked on three homes in the community. These were homes in need of repair and clean-up. We also worked with our neighbors at Citizens Bank to staff and receive dumpster donations from the neighborhood.

Thank you to everyone who participated and particularly to Betsy Sweeney ...
