We are called to know God with our Head, love God with our Heart,
and serve God with our Hands. Each of us has unique gifts that we have been given
to use in service. Figuring out what your gifts are is helpful as you
seek to develop your relationship with God. A good place to start is to simply ask, what energizes you? What
is a passion for you? Is it assisting elderly, or children,
or those in need…what peaks your interest? Are you happiest working
behind the scenes or ‘upfront?’
Chances are Grace is involved in an area of mission that engages your passion.
A detailed description of the areas of mission will be posted soon.

MISSIONS: CHANGING THE WORLD ONE LIFE AT A TIME
SERVING GOD:
Anyone seeking to know and love God will very quickly find themselves wanting to please God. How can we separate ourselves from our own needs and motives and distortions enough to perceive God's intentions?
Quick answer: We can't.
What we have to trust is God's ability to use and perfect what we offer for God's purposes.
We call this Sanctifying Grace.
As we get to know God, as we allow our lives to be shaped by God, we may come to believe we have achieved perfection. We would be wrong.
We are not capable of perfection in our intent or our action, even as we carry out the work of the church in the world. God alone sanctifies us, setting us apart from the world, even though we are still in the world.
