Grace in Action is an Outreach Volunteer Program which is providing opportunities for our congregation and visitors to help others in our community. We pick one Saturday morning each quarter where volunteers can participate in one of the volunteer activities. These activities vary, so there is usually something for everyone. It is a great hands on opportunity to get involved and help our community, and the activities run approximately three hours.

How it Works

There are three way to sign up to join in the fun and fellowship!

  1. Sign up before or after Sunday services in Heartland Hall.
  2. Sign up on sheets out on the wall outside the kitchen.
  3. Call Kristy Shaw at 913-897-5298.
  4. Or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Then, meet at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Heartland Hall on your assigned day and meeting time. It is as easy as that! Volunteers can carpool or follow one another to the event or activity site.
