Giving at Grace

Giving comes in many forms. It is as varied as the people who give of their time, talents and money.  In addition to projects at Grace we are committed to supporting Missionaries and various Christian organizations that exemplify the Grace of God in our community and around the world.  Following are some that we have singled out for support in 2010.
