As we prepare for our return to in-person worship on June 13, we are in need of volunteers to check-in those attending worship. These volunteers will be in the church entryway asking folks to sign in, leave a phone number or other reliable contact information, and make sure they are wearing their facemasks. Since we are only worshipping at 10:15 a.m., folks are needed from 9:45 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. Once worship starts, the ushers will take over the check-in duties, and the entryway volunteers may join worship. To sign up, please contact Coreen Witke at coreenwitke@gracedesmoines.org or 515.255.6400 ext. 230.
2021 Thanksgiving Ingathering
It’s that time of year again. School supplies will be going on sale in July, and we will be accepting donations for the 2021 Ingathering soon. You may place your items in the receptacle in the church entryway. These items are used during natural disasters and, more generally, to help those in need.
Below are the items needed to complete each kit. If you have any questions about the items, you may contact Lisa Blair (641-223-2372 (please text first); lb29nholding@yahoo.com) or Jean Kerber (979-733-3697). For information about making the cloth bags, contact Susan Ryon (515-829-6511).
Personal Dignity Kit Contents:
1 Bath Hand Towel - No kitchen towels and please avoid the larger plush towels. We have limited space in the bag.
Since we have not been able to host the Tuesday free meal at Grace due to Covid-19, Grace has partnered with Lucky Horse to give free meals to the community. Lucky Horse is a new restaurant in the Drake neighborhood and we are excited to have this new opportunity to provide meals to those that need them.
If you need a meal, please let us know and we will get you a card that can be redeemed for a free meal at Lucky Horse.
You can also thank Lucky Horse for their support in our community by ordering a meal to-go or eating in if you are comfortable doing so.
