As we approach the Christmas season, we want to be courageously generous and support our communities well. As the Church, we seek to show Jesus’ love to those around us in concrete, practical ways. One way you can partner with your campus in serving your community is through a year-end seasonal giving project. Please reference your campus below to see how you can get involved.
YoungLives: We are hosting a Camp For Christmas Tree in support of YoungLives. You may take a tag off the tree and sponsor a future camp attendee by gifting a mom and baby a trip to Carolina Point this Christmas.
Dominion Senior Living: We will be partnering with Dominion Senior Living to purchase and build raised flower beds. Members can give towards the materials now, and in the spring, we will help build the beds!
Shalom House: We will support Shalom House by giving towards a second home so they can help more women through providing a safe, stable environment for long-term addiction recovery after treatment.
Anderson DSS: We are partnering with Anderson DSS to refresh and update their outdoor picnic area. This is a space where workers and families meet together to visit and share a meal.
To partner with us and financially contribute to one of these Seasonal Giving opportunities, please make the gift online or by check, payable to Grace Church, with a memo of "Campus Local Mission." Depending on funds raised, your donation could assist more than one project. We thank you for trusting us with your donation to apply it to as many partner opportunities as possible via Campus Local Outreach.
Note: If you forgot to add the "Campus Local Mission" note to your online donation, please email finance@grace.sc and we will make sure your gift is coded correctly.
This year we will be collecting bikes for one of our local outreach partners, Mill Village Ministries. Bicycles are the vehicle through which Village Wrench operates. Village Wrench relies heavily on bicycle donations that can be refurbished and cycled back into the community. We also accept parts, cycling accessories and clothes too! Parts will be used to rebuild bikes and are available for community members to repair their own bicycles. Village Wrench accepts gently used, “dusty — not rusty” bicycles, parts, and apparel. Village Wrench can provide a tax donation receipt, if needed. So grateful for your support! We will collect all bikes on Sunday, January 12.
Details coming soon! Check back later to learn how you can get involved.

Please bring gifts unwrapped to the Worship Center Lobby or Office by Sunday, December 8.
