This ministry of hope takes the worry from students whose families are struggling within our Gridley School community and allows them to concentrate on learning. We collect items late spring and summer and supply backpacks and necessary school supplies to prepare the students for the start of the school year.

Crafters’ Ministry is truly a ministry. These women (men are more than welcome) are busy ladies who keep their hands moving. We love to knit, crochet, paper craft/scrapbook, sew and do other crafts. If you want to learn a new craft, we probably have someone knowledgeable who would love to help you. Bring your item to work on and join the fellowship. We support each other with fun and prayer.

During the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas seasons, our food basket ministry provides financially strapped families within our Gridley School community with a holiday meal and food supplies for a week. The month prior, we collect canned goods and boxed foods. We pack and deliver baskets with perishables to families the week prior to the holiday. Extra hands are always welcome.

Come join us for fun and food.  Please see the calendar for upcoming events and details.

We encourage everyone who is called to prayer and values prayer to join us. During this time, we pray for our nation, state and local concerns as well as for our Pastors, church leaders, and those we love and care about who have requested prayer. Additionally, you may be added to our list to join with others who pray at home for prayer requests received by e-mail as public prayers.
