Grace Lutheran Church - Social Ministry

Social Ministry Team Contact:

The following Mission Statement of Social Ministry reflects what we do in our community and around the world:

Serving others with the heart of Jesus to have a positive impact on the quality of life of at-risk individuals and families in Henderson County and around the world through VOLUNTEERISM, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND PRAYER for the human, social and economic needs of God’s people.

Souper Bowl of Caring

Collecting canned goods and money donations after worship services. Teams have “Super Bowl Team” soup pots located in the lobby for donations. Place donation in the soup pot of your team of choice to win the Super Bowl. Grace results and game results compared the following Sunday. Donations are kept local and given to the Storehouse.

Interfaith Assistance Ministry Food Drive

Grace Lutheran Church has been supporting IAM since its humble beginnings in 1984. IAM’s provision of crisis services involves a number of Grace volunteers who lend a helping hand to our struggling neighbors. Canned food provides the foundation for feeding our neighbors in need, but providing fresh vegetables and produce are also needed. Please consider a financial donation to support this nutrition based initiative or pick up a grocery bag in the lobby with a “shopping wish list”.

Living Waters Lutheran Church Food Pantry Drive

Thrivent/Habitat Blitz Build

It’s a great day for us; but it’s a greater day for the family that later gets the keys to this new home. Be a part of this experience!

Rescue Mission Food Drive

It is so important for Grace to continue supporting the Rescue Mission food drive. Because of the faithful and generous support of Grace Lutheran Church those struggling with alcohol and drug addictions find recovery; those who need shelter from the elements have a hot shower and warm bed; those who are hungry are fed; those who have no clothing are provided with clothes; those who need medical care receive it.

Hunger Walk

Have you noticed the number of opportunities we at Grace have to help fight hunger? We are blessed with an abundance that not everyone has. We do what we can, and we are happy about it. Support the Henderson County Hunger Coalitions’ Hunger Walk by either walking on the day of the event or by financially supporting someone who does walk.
