Saturday, June 7, 2014

Introducing GraceWorks. Others have called it “The Church has left the Building!” This is Carson City churches coming together to serve the community in Christ's love and spreading the good news of God's grace. This event has been going on in several other communities across the US, involving thousands of people on a given Sunday. The First Presbyterian Church started it here in Carson City two years ago.  In 2012, The Door to The Way, an Hispanic church, joined them. Over 150 people participated. Last year the First United Methodist Church and the Fountainhead Four Square Church joined the effort.  This year nine churches will participate as well as a local swin team.

You can volunteer to provide labor, time, music or just a personal touch. These projects will be done in the community, on Saturday, June 7, 2014.

  • Linear Park and Governors’ Field clean up and painting sheds and curbs
  • Conducting music and worship service at various Assisted Living Centers
  • Do Drop In, a day center for homeless with disabilities – prepare an organic garden

As worshipers exit a local church sanctuary, the sign over the door says, “You are now entering the mission field.” What better way to show God’s love than by helping those in need right here at home!
