Outreach Opportunities - Grace Lutheran Church Wisconsin Rapids Wisconsin

Prayer Shawl Ministry - These shawls are given to individuals at Grace that are in need of comfort or suffering from illness or hardships. The color choices are optional with these shawls, but there are some specific requirements. Directions are available at www.shawlministry.com.

If you have any questions, please contact Gale Jackson at 423-3529.

Baptismal Blankets - Each time a child is received into faith by baptism, he or she is presented with a blanket. These give warmth and comfort and are often kept as heirlooms. Use your creativity, whatever patterns you have, and whatever colors you choose.

If you have any questions, please contact Gale Jackson at 423-3529.

	If the Shoe Fits…The Board of Church In Society would like you to consider supporting our new Ministry Project, “If The Shoe Fits!” This will be an on-going ministry focusing on the needs of children in grades K-12 within our community. Their needs, although basic, are very great. These children are going to school without shoes, socks and underwear. Can you help us help them? Please bring in your donations of new shoes, socks and underwear and place them in the bins next to the Ministry Opportunities table in the hallway. These donations will then be taken to East Junior High where social workers will have access to these items and distribute them throughout the school district. This will be an ongoing ministry of Grace, rather than a one time event. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jean Sorenson 421-4491 or Stacy Harper 423-2330.
Please remember to save your pop tabs and bring them to church. The youth are collecting them to support the Ronald McDonald house in Marshfield. There is a collection can in the Narthex by the books and near the soda machine in the kitchen. Check everywhere...you'd be amazed at the places that pop tabs can be found: staff lounge areas, break rooms, home recycling areas, under your teenagers bed, in the flatbed of your truck. It's amazing where these little guys can be found. Every pop tab counts!! Please help us out!!!
	Grace provides helpers in the Food Pantry every other month to cover one week. Talk to Joanne Wayne if you could be available during the hours of 1:00-3:15 p.m. on a weekday. A trained volunteer will help you learn the ropes.
