Mission & Outreach Ministries at Grace Episcopal Church

Grace Episcopal Church’s mission is to seek and serve Christ in all people, loving our neighbors as ourselves. We seek to provide a welcoming environment where all people can worship God through the rich traditions of The Episcopal Church. Through prayer, praise, and learning together by studying Scripture, we are on a journey to grow into the full stature of Christ.

Weekend Backpacks
Weekend Backpacks is a collaborative ministry between Grace and Boone County High School (BCHS) that seeks to provide non-perishable food to BCHS students who otherwise would not eat over the weekends. Grace collects food donations and monetary donations and delivers them to BCHS, where they are stored and then packed into backpacks for students to take home for the weekend. Contact the office for more information.

Shawl Ministry
The Shawl Ministry is a gathering of several Church Women who knit, crochet and converse together in the Parish Hall monthly. Products of this time together (shawls, capes, wraps) are blessed by our Priest-In-Charge and donated to shut-ins in nursing homes, people in hospitals, and others who need a warm embrace. Contact the office for more information.

Mobile Food Pantry
Several times per year, Grace Episcopal Church hosts the Mobile Food Truck, which distributes 10,000 pounds of food to 200 families (50 pounds per family). The Mobile Food Truck is operated by the Free Store Food Bank. Contact the office for more information. Keep checking here for our next Mobile Food Pantry date.
