This is a beautiful way that we women of Grace and St. Thomas can unite and help so many that are in need within our community. Currently, the four programs that ECW would like to support are Elevate Bay, which is a mentoring program through Bay District Schools; A New Day that works with the Bay County Sheriff’s Jail through counseling in their Lifeline Program for Substance Abuse; Save the Closet which works with providing clothes to those in need in a dignified way; and Lucky Puppy Rescue that educates on spaying/neutering your dogs, offers adoption and fostering and they are always in need of dog supplies.

While the mission of ECW is community outreach, our other goal is to make time for reading scripture, have prayer and fellowship at our meetings. We encourage all women to get involved at any level you wish with ECW. We are having fun watching this local program blossom. We ask that you pray for the ECW in that we are in-tune to where and how God wants us to spend our time to make the most meaningful impact in our community, and that we continue to honor Him along the way.  

 Thank you for reading and May blessings abound,

Amy Helms

Many thanks to our Lay Ministers who help make Grace the warm, welcoming church it is!

We have received word that Charles Robertson, former Grace Church parishioner and vestryman, died on May 13. A funeral will be planned for the fall. Further information will be announced as it becomes available. Please keep the Robertson family in your prayers.
