HANDS OF GRACE has a New Name!


Adding clarity between Hands of Grace and Gifts of Grace Market, 

a new name has been selected. You will begin seeing

HANDS AND HEARTS on this page, in the weekly bulletins, 

the Church calendar and more.  


HANDS AND HEARTS reflects our Hands doing His work, with our Hearts to follow His love for others.


Our mission is the same:

This group is an outreach to the members of the community, to provide Christian fellowship. We gather in friendship and support of one another, learn new skills, creating  items as agreed upon by attending members.



CURRENT MISSION PROJECTS

Our schedule is very flexible.  Please keep regular checks

on this page to see updated plans!
