Practical Helps
We are disciples of Jesus and we follow His example, as He “did not come to be served, but to serve” Matthew 20:28
There are always members of our church family who need help in a practical way. The Practical Helps Team receives these requests and serves as many as possible to share the love of Jesus in tangible ways!
What is the Practical Helps ministry?
We provide practical, physical help to individuals who have a need they can’t meet themselves such as yard work, minor house repairs, and general chores around one’s residence.
Who We Serve
Our focus is on serving the people who are connected to Grace Community Church but do not have the help they need from family, small group members, co-workers, or the ability to help themselves. This includes the elderly, single parents, persons with disabilities, as well as others who may have a need.
A person must be a regular part of Grace or its ministries to receive this help, though it is not required to be an official member. We are unable to offer this help to the extended family, friends, or neighbors of regular Grace people.
How We Operate
We serve on an “as needed” basis and team members serve as their schedules and availability allow.
When a service opportunity arises, team members are notified and informed about the particulars of the service to be rendered (e.g., date, time, place, activity/tasks to be performed, etc.). Those who are available respond and serve; those who are not available wait for the next opportunity. If no one on the team responds to the request for help, we cannot commit to meeting that need.
