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, please contact Tammy Box.

We will not be meeting in June--serve with Vacation Bible School this week!

Hurricane season has arrived and Houston is no stranger to these and other weather events.

As always, Grace’s Disaster Response Team, in partnership with The Restoration Team, are watching the weather, and we are ready to respond to any disasters that may impact our immediate area.

If disaster strikes, Grace's disaster response webpage is a place to let us know details:

• Please let us know if you have been impacted and need support

• Please let us know if you know of a friend or family member who needs support

• Please let us know if you are able to help others by volunteering your time.

MENtorUP is a wonderful opportunity for Grace men to pour into the lives of Westchase-area middle school (and some high school) young men. We started this beautiful ministry last Spring, meeting our youth on the basketball court, and now that relationships are established, we are ready to go deeper with the students and we need you to help model and teach important life skills, explore career pathways and help our mentees experience opportunities in life that will help shape dreams!  To get involved, contact Kristy Elmore today.

Join us for a day of joy, fellowship, and service as we come together to support our local students and teachers! Serve Day at Paul Revere Middle School is Friday, July 26, 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. We'll gather on campus at Paul Revere to help paint and prepare classrooms for the new school year. While HISD recently painted the hallways, Principal Wiley has asked for our help to give the classrooms a fresh start! Let's show our students they are loved by creating clean, welcoming spaces where they can thrive. Bring your favorite paintbrush and wear clothes you don't mind getting messy! No experience needed--just a willing heart and a few hours of your time. Snacks and drinks will be provided! To sign up or for more information, contact Kristy Elmore.

Please consider supporting the essential needs of local school children attending Walnut Bend Elementary, Paul Revere Middle School, and Emerson Elementary School this fall.

- Backpacks $25

Look for the table in the Welcome Center!
