Outreach Programs
Grace has a number of Outreach Programs helping our youth, our community and our neighbors. We invite anyone to join us at any of these great programs.
Pancake Breakfast
We invite all members of our community to join in sharing God’s abundance at the table each Sunday morning, 7:30-8:30 am. Grace volunteers serve the breakfast on the first Sunday of every month; all are welcome to help! Other Lutheran congregations from around the valley serve the breakfast the other Sundays of the month. Leaders from other congregations, both Lutheran and non-Lutheran, may contact our pancake breakfast czar, Phyllis Schilling, if they have questions about serving at the pancake breakfast (pkocherer@yahoo.com).
GLOW (Grace Lutheran On Wednesdays)
On most Wednesday evenings during the academic year, volunteers from Grace and the community, who are led by our GLOW Cook, prepare a great meal that begins at 5:30 pm with Bible study following. The Bible study portion of GLOW includes music, large group, and small groups. If you would like to serve as a small group leader, please talk with Pastor Sarah.
Grace Room
On Monday mornings at 8:15 am, the Grace Room opens for members of our community in need of clothing, blankets, and hygiene supplies. If you would like to donate items for the Grace Room, you may bring them to the church office. The Grace Room is primarily coordinated by volunteers from Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Sun City West.
Heat Respite
Each summer, we offer heat respite in Hope Hall. This is a chance for our community members who live on the street to find respite from the nailing heat of Phoenix summer. We will need many busy hands and open hearts to do this ministry. If you are interested in helping, contact Marlene Haller at mhaller01@cox.net who is this summer’s heat respite volunteer coordinator. This year, Heat Respite runs from June 18 through August 31.
During heat respite, we need SACK LUNCHES, funding for air conditioning, bottled water, services that people can provide like teaching yoga or giving haircuts, volunteers to help staff heat respite, and many other things. Visit our Donations page for more information. Visit ViViddfadsdddf Vi
