Grace Children’s Church is offered during both worship services. Children ages 3-8 are invited to join us for games, crafts, and Bible time.

Grace UMC to host a Free One Day Dance Camp for Rising K-12 Girls on June 10, 2023:
In His Steps is a non-profit Christian girls ministry based out of the Lake Norman, North Carolina area. For over 15 years, this ministry has partnered with various church and host partnerships to offer their free classes, events, and summer camps. This year, Grace UMC is pleased to host In His Steps to offer their FREE ONE DAY dance camp for RISING K-12th GRADE GIRLS from 10am-3pm on Saturday, June 10th. Their theme this year is “Joy” and the one-day camp will be filled with dance to Christian music, devotions, and lots of fun. And to make it even easier, our church is going to provide a FREE pizza and fruit lunch to all the girls who attend camp. To register, simply email In His Steps directly at info@ihsdance.com, with your dancer’s name, grade she is going into next year, and that your participant would like to attend the Wilmington location. For more information on In His Steps, check them out at www.ihsdance.com.

Service Opportunities

Kids Summer Meal:

Through a federal program called Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) the Food Bank supports partners operating Kids Summer Meals sites across our 34-count service area. These sites provide children with nutritious meals and programming during the summer when schools are closed.

Grace UMC will serve lunch only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 am – 1 pm starting July 5th through August 25th, 2023 in our gym. Registration is not required but is appreciated.

Two volunteers or more per day are needed. Would you consider lending a hand for lunches? No prep is necessary. Look on the Welcome Center bulletin board outside the Activity Center for more information on how to sign up. Questions? Contact Sally Barnes or Karen Evans.

 
 

MOTHER HUBBARD’S CUPBOARD: 
The number of local families needing food is increasing again. However, the overall donations to Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard have decreased since Christmas. They are giving groceries to over 165 families each time they’re open. Please consider picking up one or two nonperishable food items for our brothers and sisters in need each time you get your groceries. Place donations in the grocery cart located in the Welcome Center. Imagine how much food Grace could donate if each family picked up one or two items for the Cupboard during their once-a-week grocery trip.

If interested in giving to support the ministries of Grace United Methodist Church, please use the following QR code or send it to GUMC
