Grace Free Community Meal The Grace FCM is held the second Friday of each month. At this time, all meals are being served in the Grace Fellowship Hall on the lower level of the church. Take-out meals are available but you must come inside to pick them up; there is no drive-through option.
The first Free Community Meal of 2026 was on Friday, January 9 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. Pat and John Smack were the hosts for a meal of turkey barbecue, cranberry coleslaw salad, corn, a roll and butter and, of course delicious desserts. A total of 116 were served - 66 inside and 50 take out. Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers who served, and a special thanks to Robin Baker, Carol Grubb, Kim McFarland, and Harold Moyer for helping first time hosts with setup.
The next Free Community Meal will be Friday, February 13 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. Shelly Stichter, Pastor Samantha, the confirmands and their families will host. The menu for this month is ravioli casserole with meat sauce, salad, a roll and butter, and heart-shaped cookies for dessert. We will need bakers, cooks, greeters, servers, and cleanup - if you can help please call the office, or sign up at the following SignUp Genius link: February FCM

As people of faith, God calls us to help those whom Jesus called "the least of these." (Matthew 25:40) When Jesus fed the multitudes (the only miracle to appear in all four gospels), he didn't ask anyone to pay, to demonstrate worthiness, or even to prove their need. And as Christians - although we often come up short - we try to follow the way of Christ. That is why on the second Friday of each month, Grace hosts a Free Community Meal (FCM). At that time anyone and everyone is welcome to pick up a meal (or meals) and a friendly greeting. During this time of pandemic, the FCM is to-go and we ask that you please wear a mask when you come by. If you would like to know more about the Free Community Meal, or give a monetary donation, please email Pat Smack at smackpatricia@gmail.com, or call the church office.
