Grace Free Community Meal The Grace FCM is held the second Friday of each month. Some months the meal has both dine-in and take-out options, and some months are take-out only. At this time, we anticipate January, February, and March meals in 2025 will be take out only.
On Friday, March 14, Barbara Cochrane and many wonderful volunteers made 135 delicious meals of sausage, cabbage and noodles, fruit salad, roll and butter, and dessert. It was the first meal that did not have a drive thorugh option, and some adjustment will be made to the system for next time.
The next Free Community Meal will be held Friday, April 11 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm (or until the meals run out). This month the meal planner is Sandy Schantz, and the menu will be chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, apple sauce, and a dessert. Drinks will be iced tea, lemonade, and coffee. Again, for this meal and going forward, all meals will be served in Fellowship Hall. People may get take-out/to-go meals, but must come inside; there will not be a drive through. If you can help by making a dessert, cooking, greet, serve or cleanup, please sign at the Signup Genius link: April FCM
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who help make this worthwhile ministry possible to continue to bring a little joy to our community. Remember Grace is the Place!
If you would be willing to host a meal in 2025, please contact Pat Smack at smackpatricia@gmail.com. AUGUST AND OCTOBER ARE STILL AVAILABLE

As people of faith, God calls us to help those whom Jesus called "the least of these." (Matthew 25:40) When Jesus fed the multitudes (the only miracle to appear in all four gospels), he didn't ask anyone to pay, to demonstrate worthiness, or even to prove their need. And as Christians - although we often come up short - we try to follow the way of Christ. That is why on the second Friday of each month, Grace hosts a Free Community Meal (FCM). At that time anyone and everyone is welcome to pick up a meal (or meals) and a friendly greeting. During this time of pandemic, the FCM is to-go and we ask that you please wear a mask when you come by. If you would like to know more about the Free Community Meal, or give a monetary donation, please email Pat Smack at smackpatricia@gmail.com, or call the church office.
