Second Saturday Serve is a once a month, come-as-you-are, intergenerational short service opportunity in the Welcome Center or out in the community. Join us for an hour or two and make a difference in someone’s life. Watch the Grace homepage and Grace Weekly email for project details each month. For more information watch this page or contact Kristy Elmore.

F3 (Fun, Food & Faith) Apartment Ministry meets on Wednesdays after school at the Belmont Apartments, 10550 Valley Forge Dr., near Paul Revere Middle School. Friends of Westchase needs your presence to make a difference in the lives of the children living in the Belmont Apartment Community. F3 will meet on site at Belmont on Wednesdays after school beginning October 16, at 4:15-5:15 p.m., at which time children will enjoy play time, snacks, Bible lessons and crafts, and homework help. You may find out more or register to join in the fun HERE.

Help feed our people! Sharing a meal together has long been acknowledged as a wonderful way to spark conversation and make people feel at ease with one another. Many Grace ministries events are centered on that premise. You can help these ministries thrive by providing a meal for the folks participating. The opportunities and complete details can be found HERE. Bookmark that list--currently there are several Student Ministries and vacation Bible School events that could use your help, but as Summer continues and then as new Fall events begins, we will be adding to this list for all of our ministries, so check back often and help out when you can!

Grace is partnering with World Renew Disaster Response Services to support families impacted by hurricanes Milton and Helene. World Renew has asked Grace to consider sending teams to help with long-term recovery needs and to step in after the first responders have stabilized the communities. Teams will begin serving in six months and serve over the next three years. World Renew's mission and focus is to go into areas that have been deeply impacted and possibly overlooked, giving vulnerable homeowners a chance to rebuild their lives. If you may be interested in serving with a disaster response team in 2025, please let us know by contacting Kristy Elmore. We will share more as details and trip dates are made available.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Christmas for the City, and we are excited to come together as a church family on December 8 to make a lasting impact on the lives of others in our community! We will be partnering with these organizations to serve our neighbors:

Sleep in Heavenly Peace: We will work together to build beds for children in need, ensuring that every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Some of the beds will go to kids and families we know through Friends of Westchase. We'll also team up with Build-A-Bear to make the new beds even more cozy.

Kids' Meals Houston: Our mission will include providing lunches to children across Houston who might otherwise go without.

How Can You Get Involved?

Volunteer: There will be many opportunities for all ages to serve, from building beds to packaging lunches. Register to serve HERE. If you need childcare, you may register your kids at the same link.

Donate: Financial contributions will go directly toward these outreach efforts. You may make a donation HERE.

Pray: Your prayers for these efforts and the individuals we'll be serving are invaluable!
