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. Looking ahead to the rest of 2024, July, August and September meals will be take out only; October, November and December will be dine in and take out both.
On Friday, November 8, Kim Vaupel and her friends will served 240 meals of pasta and meatballs, salad, roll and butter, and dessert. Of these meals, 200 were take out or dine in, and the rest went to the Allentown Rescue Mission. All the meals were greatly enjoyed.
The next Free Community Meal will be held on Friday, December 13 from 4:00 - 5:30 pm. Sandy Schantz and other volunteers will serve meatloaf, a baked potato, green beans, roll and butter, and dessert. Join us inside to enjoy the company, or get the same delicious meal as take out. A SignUp Genius link will be posted soon if you are interested in signing up to help.
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.

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.
