Grace Branch


 

“Above all, love each other deeply,
because love covers a multitude of sins.
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:8-10

Grace is “consideration for others, a disposition to kindness and compassion or making things beautiful”.
The Grace Branch of Women's Ministries tries to fulfill this definition within the church through serving coffee and donuts, providing funeral meals, and decorating the church for Christmas. 
iMom is another extension of Grace to Mom’s of any age. iMom, 'Intentional' Mom, meets twice a month in the mornings and once a month in the evening.  Contact for iMom is Kacia Ross.


Ways You Can Serve:
Coffee and Donuts- Make coffee or pick up and serve the donuts on Sunday morning.
Guest Housing- Open your home on occasion for a ministry guest.
Christmas Decorations- Help put up  or take down  decorations at TBC.
Funeral Meals- Provide a side dish or help serve a funeral meal.


Along with the service part of the Grace Branch, there are some awesome fellowship opportunities.
