COVID19 - Go In The Strength That You Have
In the midst of quarantine, we felt the call to BE the church in practical ways for our community. That looked like sewing masks for medical workers, delivering hand written or emailed notes of encouragement to everyone from administrators & police officers to postal workers & nurses. We collected non perishable food for distribution through Burlington City schools.
One of our members had an idea to collect funds to send hot meals and encouragement to the front line workers in our community. We opened it up to our Grace family and saw hundreds of dollars pour in! By ordering catered meals from local small businesses we were able to deliver multiple meals to our local police departments, hospitals & EMT stations.
We found ways to worship together online. We prayed via Zoom calls. We saw our church from a new angle but we rested in the fact that our God NEVER changes! What a unique season of ministry. Praise God!
Because of Bethlehem
Each year the Women of Grace host an evening to kick off our holiday season. The goal is to pause and truly connect with the meaning of the season before we are swept up in the busyness of it all. We remember that Christmas is not an event you plan it is a person you experience.
Saturday Service Project 2019
Grace, Riverside Alliance and the Military came together to tackle projects from Florence to Burlington city! A whole park raked and 1/2 mile of riverside fence painted ! And that was just the Burlington team. More than that conversations, partnerships and life shared. #lovewhereyoulive #gooddayinthekingdom
Relate Strong Workshop 2018
Relate Strong is a workshop presented by Michele & Sam Park. It takes participants through active listening as well as the realities of our pain and peace cycles. Understanding the way we relate to others allows us to build healthier relationships with those around us.

Mosaic Women's Ministry: Tidings & Joy
Here is a sneak peek from our Mosaic Women's Ministry event: Tidings & Joy. The women of our church got together last night to celebrate the start of the holiday season by taking a closer look at how many of our holiday traditions began.
Trunk-or-Treat
We had a blast at our first ever Trunk-or-Treat event on October 29, 2017. Heavy rains moved all of our fun inside but that didn't stop nearly 150 kids and their families from coming out and enjoying our games, crafts, free food and of course trick-or-treating. We want to say thank you to all our volunteers that participated in this event.

Free Toy & Clothing Event 2019
This year we were greeted by a surprising amount of guests for our Free Toy and Clothing Event. Thankfully we were also blessed with a large amount of donations and everyone was able to leave with something. Our team is already brainstorming ways to recruit more donations and organize the crowds for next year.
Pound for a Purpose
The Women of Grace rocked out with our favorite fitness instructor, Vanessa. Each particpant donated $10 per class and 100% of the proceeds were donated to World Vision to purchase HOPE kits for women. These kits, packaged in awesome bags from Thirty-One, are filled with toiletires and other essentials and given to women in shelters who have been victims of human trafficking, violence, poverty or harm.
We were able to pack 100 HOPE KITS!
National Night Out 2018
Free Toy & Clothing Exchange 2017
"I have two new foster children that were desperately in need of clothes."
"I am due in a few weeks and we have absolutely nothing for the baby, this event was a miracle for us."
"This was truly incredible, no one does this for free, thank you so much."
"I am shopping for my grandchildren so they can have things they enjoy at my home."
"I am a single mom of five. I can't tell you what this event means to me."
"I am a teacher and I found some really incredible things I can use in my classroom. Thank you!"
We heard stories like these and countless others all night long. Thank you to everyone who gave, who shared the event with someone or came to serve at the event. Thank you especially to those of you that jumped in to meet unexpected needs flawlessly. It is always such a gift to watch the room transform from empty tables to overflowing with exactly what people are looking for. God is good!

Operation Christmas Child SHOE BOX Project
In 2019 Grace was once again able to participate in this wonderful program with Samaritans Purse. It was wonderful to watch the whole church get involved in packing boxes. Grace donated a total of 46 boxes!
Our Kingdom Kids worked hard all fall to encourage members of our Grace family to donate toward this incredible project by Samaritans Purse. Each week they drew pictures, made crafts and collected everything from school supplies to 'wow' items for their boxes. These images are from our packing party on Sunday, Oct 29, 2017. Our Identity Youth and Kingdom Kids worked together to make over 40 boxes!

serving sunday
Every time there is a fifth Sunday in a month, we take a break from the corporate worship service, and go out and serve the needs of our community. In August we collected trash from several local playgrounds in Westampton.
