Please join Grace members Jaclyn and Charles Luke in celebrating Eliza's life by donating blood! Eliza's rare genetic disease caused her to have chronically low red blood cells and platelets. She was fortunate to receive several blood transfusions which greatly improved the quality of her short life. We can think of no better way to show our appreciation for these transfusions than to help other patients. We hope you'll schedule an appointment to give blood with us!

Friends of Samburu, Kenya holds two charity garage sales each year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. They are currently accepting unwanted/unneeded items for the sale. They are also seeking volunteers to help run the sale, and setting up and tearing down is always a huge effort. If you are not able to work the sale, you may also prepare lunch for the volunteers and/or provide a case of bottled water. This year they are fundraising for an eye glass clinic for a remote village, help dedicate a dining hall, and interact with the student bodies at three different schools. 

Contact Margaret Ellis if you can help out!

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 events that could use your help, but as new programs begin in January, 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.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Christopher Cole Knight was a young man with unstoppable faith and love for Christ, and he lived to make that visible every day. Cole lived to serve, and he invited others to do the same. He was truly a man with a mission.

The Cole Knight Missions Scholarship Fund was created as a tangible way to carry on Cole’s mission, to help pave the way for individuals who display that same servant heart and a passion for serving God through serving others. Each year the Scholarship Fund helps scholarship recipients cover the cost of their participation in Grace Presbyterian Church youth mission trips.

Qualifications for nominees:

● Middle school or high school student participating in a Grace Presbyterian Church youth mission trip

● Individual with a servant heart who makes Jesus visible through their discipleship and service to others

Download a nomination form HERE. Please return the form to Dan or Liz via email or hard copy. Deadline for nominations is February 9, 2025.
