MISSIONS
IFCS is one of our missions that we give to yearround! They have a food bank that has been very helpful and always well stocked, especially this year with Covid-19. We have given them close to $10,000.00 this year alone in relief of Covid-19. We were known last year as the "stuffing church," as we supplied IFCS with enough stuffing to last the entire year. This year, we are organizing a drive for Tuna and Tuna Helper or Loaves and Fishes to stock their pantry with protein packed meals for the needy.
Heartbeat Denver Working Men’s Shelter (Formerly New Genesis)
The Shelter averages about 90 people a day with a capacity of 120. Residents are required to have a job, pay weekly fees, and be sober. Residents also have the opportunity to participate in a Program to learn financial skills, job search skills, and how to build a support community that will help them reach their goal of staying sober and transitioning into an independent lifestyle.
Love Inc. is our mission that provides resources like diapers, formula, and personal care items. They also run an IMPACT program that teaches life skills classes and provides coaching. This organization uniquely helps the entire family, and we have donated over $3200.00 this year to the program!
Grace's Mission committee and the Session have added Journey with Migrants this year as an area of focus; particularly since it has become a dominant issue in our country. No matter one's political stance on the topic of immigration, it is important for us as a big-tent church to be walking alongside immigrants and to learn from leaders and organizations who are already doing great work. Phyllis Clerihue is one who has been involved in this ministry and the Cross Cultural Covenant Community, another organization that we belong to that is exploring how we can be involved with Journey with Migrants as well.
We are praying for and working towards a non-political and non-advocacy way for Grace to engage with Journey with Migrants and their focus on helping people caught in the hotbed of political crossfire. The stated goal of Journey with Migrants is to "be the Presbytery of Denver's corporate response to the needs of undocumented residents who have migrated to Colorado and individuals and families who are seeking asylum in the United States."
