GRACE KITCHEN MINISTRIES
Grace Kitchen Ministries is one of the many ways Grace UMC serves one another and the local community. We do so in a number of ways:
1. Soups On Community meals- this ministry provides approximately 100 meals to the community each Friday.
2. Funeral Dinners
3. Christmas Dinner for the Community
4. Easter Sunrise Breakfast
5. Coffee hour-weekly time for fellowship
As our Grace Kitchen Ministries have grown, it has become apparent that that the work is too much for one person. Therefore, to continue this valuable ministry, we seek to assemble a team to oversee the kitchen ministry of Grace UMC. As part of this new team, your mission, should you choose to accept it, would include things like planning, communication with teams and coordinating volunteers. If you are looking for a place to serve and want to see how your time can impact others,
consider helping the Grace UMC Kitchen Ministries. Please contact Pastor Joe (joepsanford@franklingrace.org) or Pastor Jenothy (jenothyirvine@franklingrace.org).
