Grace works with Messiah to provide weekend lunches for children at Crestwood Elementary.  Grace members distribute lunches every Friday at 3 p.m.  Meet them at the rock at Crestwood Elementary School if you want to help.

The Grace Tutoring Program has been an active part of our life continuously since 1990. The program has helped children from Crestwood and Garfield Elementary Schools by developing a caring relationship between students and church volunteers. Each student meets with the same volunteer, who becomes a special friend and homework helper for one hour every Monday evening, from October through May. The program needs tutors and substitute tutors for each school year. Coordinator: Mary Hawkins.

The Help the Homeless meet-up group usually meets on the last Saturday of the month in Wester Hall. Folks from all over the NOVA/DC area put together backpacks containing a hygiene kit, paper towels, plastic container, mouthwash, a sack lunch, and a Bible. These backpacks are taken to DC and parts of Fairfax County to distribute directly to the homeless.

We will join with St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, with whom together we are planning a meaningful, simple prayer service to share both lament and hope for our queer members, friends, children, and neighbors, in light of new policies and developments.  All are welcomed.
