Here at Grace Bible Church our mission is to "Lead our City into a Life-Changing Relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church."
And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your mind. this is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself
Matthew 22: 28-29
Hands of Grace is a week where we as a Church can be more intentional in mobilizing the church body to LOVE and SERVE the community outside of the four walls of our church building. This is a great opportunity to come together to put into action what our mission is all about.
Take part in this year’s Hands of Grace project:
Treasure for the Treasured: Rummage Sale
Scripture teaches that we should live without excess to help others live with enough. For this year's Hands of Grace, we are hosting a rummage sale in our parking lot. ALL proceeds will go to local nonprofits to bless God's treasured people (the poor, hungry, vulnerable children, the homeless, needy single moms and more).
The nonprofits include the following:
Bridge Ministries
A resource center (in both English and Spanish) for Christians to learn and grow in their faith by providing Bibles, Christian books, Bible studies, preschool story time, podcasts & conferences.
Our Forever Hope
This ministry works closely with Child Protective Services by providing meals to children pending placement under CPS supervision and by providing beds and bedding for children in need and recovering from trauma.
Casa Hogar Elohim
Since 2009, Thad and Anita Maddox have been serving the 80+ children of Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. In 2016, they began leading short term missions to serve at Casa Hogar and now God has called them to share even more of their lives with the children.
Laredo Pregnancy Center
Their mission is to passionately protect life and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This ministry serves moms and their unborn children in their moment of critical need with the love of Christ.
If you want to donate items, go to all the storage spots in your home and set aside objects you do not need, use or want. On March 22nd, we will sell items from 9AM to 12PM. Our advice is to set aside seven items per day so you're not overwhelmed.
More information will be given in your community group. If you are not in a community group and want to participate through donations or by helping on March 22nd, complete the following form. We will contact you with further instructions.
