Missions

The Missions team meets every other month (odd-numbered months) on Sundays, at 10:30 am. We meet upstairs in an empty classroom.
Everyone is welcome to attend a Missions Meeting - come join us and see what the 'buzz' is all about!

WHAT DOES THE MISSIONS TEAM DO??

ServeWe have a LOCAL mission -

Lee's Summit Social Services. Dee Robinson is coordinating this project; normally, there is an ongoing need for grocery items. Also, we have several members of Grace volunteer their time at LSSS. Finally, we have an annual service project where we help the children of LSSS choose and then wrap a Christmas present for their parents. Details will be published in the weekly bulletin.

We have a COMMUNITY mission –

On the last Saturday of most months, our church graciously prepares and serves a meal to the people at reStart in Kansas City, Missouri. There are many ways you or your family can help:

  1. Donate money to buy groceries, by putting money in the reStart collection jar on the reStart table (at the back of the sanctuary).
  2. Donate specific grocery items. Check out the reStart table (at the back of the sanctuary) for specific items that are needed. Have the items up at church by the specific Saturday.
  3. Cook specific items in your OWN home and have the items up at church by the specific Saturday.
  4. Come to church on the last Saturday of the month at around 1:00 pm to help cook and prepare the food. No cooking experience is necessary; we can even put your children to work! This is a GREAT opportunity to meet other people from Grace and get involved!
  5. After the food is prepared, load up in the carpools and head down to reStart to help serve! We usually leave Grace at 3:30pm; we start actually serving at 4:30 pm, and we're usually back home by 6:30 pm.

This is a GREAT service project for families, youth, and children! Volunteers of ALL ages are welcome! After their first time of experiencing this project, most volunteers come back month after month, as the experience is SO rewarding! Carmen Kynard is the Coordinator
