Grace Church has a rich history of lending a hand to those in need. The Shelter for the Homeless, sponsored by the Charleston Interfaith Crisis Ministry, provides safe sleeping accommodations for the homeless, as well as a nourishing meal in the evening and in the morning. Grace Church volunteers staff the Shelter on the third Thursday night of each month, serving breakfast on the following morning. Parishioners also bake muffins and cookies to serve at the Shelter. 406.6005 Grace Cares is a large group of grace Church parishioners who are organized and ready to jump in a assist members of the parish when life gets hard, temporarily or long term.
Respite care is also available for two-hour time periods.
If you are someone who would like to help just pick up the phone and call Mary Murray or Libby Metzler. It is the responsibility of the clergy to call on parishioners in the hospital to provide sacrament and prayer for spiritual nourishment and physical healing, a willingness to be with you in times of pain, stress and fear. Please allow us the privilege of serving you by calling the church office or any of the clergy at home. The church phone is answered 24 hours a day. This ministry seeks to support parents and their children from pre-birth, through Baptism, until the children are enrolled in the Church School at the age of three years.
